CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle yet deeply powerful therapy that works with the Craniosacral system, the bones, membranes and fluids that surround the brain and spinal cord.
Using gentle touch and intuitive listening, the therapist works with the body to identify areas of restriction, tension or imbalance that may be affecting movement, nervous system regulation and overall wellbeing. Once these restrictions are identified, the body is gently encouraged to release and rebalance itself naturally, often reducing pain, tension and dysfunction.
One of the key principles of Craniosacral Therapy is that the body communicates as a whole. The source of pain or dysfunction is not always where symptoms are being experienced. For example, lower back pain may be connected to restrictions held within the jaw or neck following dental treatment or injury.
A large part of this work involves the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, nerves, organs, blood vessels and membranes throughout the body. Fascia connects and supports the entire body, allowing communication and flow between systems. When tension becomes held within the fascia, it can impact not only physical movement, but also the nervous system and emotional wellbeing.
Rather than forcing change, Craniosacral Therapy follows the body’s lead. The therapist listens and responds to what the body is ready to release, allowing the system to gently unwind, recalibrate and restore balance.
Many people experience benefits physically, mentally and emotionally, often describing a sense of deep relaxation, release and reconnection following treatment.
This work may also include Somatoemotional Release, a gentle process that recognises how emotional experiences and trauma can become stored within the body. As tension patterns begin to release, emotional shifts and greater nervous system regulation can often occur alongside physical improvements.
What does a session involve?
The first session lasts 2 hours, allowing time for a full history to be taken alongside the treatment itself.
At ATTA, sessions are offered remotely online via Zoom. Clients are invited to lie comfortably on a bed or sit in a supportive chair while wearing a headset with microphone to allow communication throughout the session. A stable internet connection is recommended.
Clients are encouraged to share what they are experiencing during the session, helping support awareness, communication and the body’s natural release process.
