Craniosacral Therapy

Providers​

• Dr. Laura Crosby, ND, LAc

Explanation

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle form of somatic work that involves gentle holding of cranial bones, the sacrum, and the extremities to optimize the flow of cerebral spinal fluid. When CSF flow has been impacted by chronic emotional or structural stress or trauma such as motor vehicle accidents, head injuries and other pain disorders, the impact can be felt downstream in every other body system. Craniosacral therapy through relaxation and therapeutic touch can help alleviate discomfort caused by fascial restrictions, improve lymph flow, decrease pain, as well as improve sleep and digestion.

What to expect​

Sessions will involve table work, face-up.  You can expect to remain fully clothed while a practitioner uses a light, stillness-oriented touch to monitor and release tensions in the central nervous system, promoting a deep sense of relaxation and physical realignment. First sessions are 45 minutes, return visits are 30 minutes.

Patients who may benefit
