What is Craniosacral Therapy?
With very gentle touch, the Craniosacral Therapy practitioner tunes in to the rhythms at the core of the body.
During your treatment I will be paying attention to the subtle movements within the body with which health is maintained. Where these systems have become stuck or disorganised, Craniosacral Therapy can help the body to reorganise.
Craniosacral Therapy does not adjust the body, there are no “clicks and clunks”. It is a therapy that allows the body itself to find a healthy way of being.
The return to healthy functioning of the body makes it possible to experience the world as a comfortable place to be: we regain a deep sense of well-being which informs our experience of the world around us.
Craniosacral Therapy has been profoundly beneficial to me. My back not only feels stronger and healthier than it has done for years, but through this wonderful, gentle practice, Viv has also moved me on emotionally and mentally, to a happier and stronger place.
I have had eczema for the whole of my life. …I was on high strength steroid cream, left with hands I could not use, in a lot of pain and with the doctors scratching their heads not knowing what to do next. One session with Viv eased it instantly and one month after the session it was not just better but gone.
What happens in a Craniosacral Therapy session?
During your Craniosacral Therapy session you will lie fully clothed on a comfortable treatment couch, or you may prefer to sit.
I will make a light contact with my hands on your body, usually under your head (the cranium in “Craniosacral Therapy”) or at the base of your spine (the sacrum).
Then I will “listen” with my hands and support the changes your body is making as it starts to heal.
