Case study

Mrs S had lost a family member and became anxious and depressed. This led to headaches, insomnia, irritable bowel and other stress related complaints. After her first treatment she slept soundly for the first time in years, after 5 subsequent treatments she felt   mentally much calmer, came off anti depressants and her health returned. She felt Cranio-sacral therapy “was a turning point” in this process

“I found this experience to be really wonderful. I drifted off into a state of deep relaxation. Karen told me what she had discovered about my body afterwards and I was amazed at her insight into my physical restrictions at this time. Amazing” Jeannette Warr

What is Cranio-sacral therapy?

Cranio-sacral therapy originated from a branch of Osteopathy. It is a very gentle and non invasive therapeutic approach to releasing restrictions in the musculo-skeletal system focusing particularly on the membranes, fascia and cerebra-spinal fluid. These   have a profound effect on both mind and body .The efficient working of the Cranio-sacral system is essential to   proper functioning and development of the brain and the cranial nerves which supply the eyes ears, palate and govern the baby’s emotional responses to its environment.The therapist uses their hands to find areas of restriction in the body particularly in the skull and then very subtly facilitates changes in those areas of restriction.
During the session you will lie on a couch fully clothed and the therapist will feel your body very gently so as to ‘tune’ into what is going on and become aware of restrictions and limitations.
