Sustained, extremely gentle contact that releases tension through the head, spine, and pelvis. Often the right starting point when everything feels too sensitive.
Craniosacral therapy uses very light, sustained contact at the head, spine, and pelvis to release restriction in the tissue that surrounds and supports the central nervous system.
The pressure involved is minimal, often described as no more than the weight of a hand resting in place. Change happens through sustained contact rather than through force.
Because it is so gentle, craniosacral therapy is often the right choice for patients who cannot tolerate more direct work. That includes people in acute pain, patients recovering from injury, infants and small children, and anyone who simply prefers the lightest possible approach.
It also pairs well with other care. Patients often receive it alongside adjustments as part of a broader plan.
