Craniosacral treatment engages with your body’s inherent healing forces to restore healthy function throughout the whole body including the cranium. While symptoms are very often relieved with treatment, the aim is to treat the person rather than a collection of symptoms.
My background in osteopathy has trained me to evaluate all the joints in the body and to have a true appreciation of how the body works as an indivisible whole. For example, a neck pain might be related to a twisted ankle or low back pain to a head injury. Using gentle pressure and by engaging the craniosacral mechanism, my aim with treatment is to address your current symptoms as well as the underlying causes.
Conditions that are helped include:
- The residual strains from past accidents, falls, or other trauma (recent or long ago)
- Aches and pains in neck, back or limbs
- Joint pains and stiffness
- Arthritis
- TMJ problems
- Help recovering from effects of operations, or illnesses, such as the after effects of viruses or infections.
- Problems related to pregnancy and childbirth
- Pain and/or discomfort following dental treatment, including orthodontics
- Headaches/migraines
- Sinus problems
- Stress and low energy
- Period pains
- Digestive problems
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic fatigue
- Respiratory problems, i.e,, asthma, recurrent lung infections
- Effects of concussion/head trauma
- Whiplash
