Craniosacral Therapy - what is it?

Craniosacral therapy developed from the work of an American osteopath, Dr William Sutherland in the early 1900s. He discovered intrinsic movements of the bones in the head and his further research revealed different rhythms in the body.

He inferred, from further observation, and later went on to demonstrate to his satisfaction, that these movements are inextricably linked with mental and emotional health and that restriction of these movements corresponds to a reduction of the natural capacity to self-heal.


In a typical craniosacral session, you will usually lie (or sometimes sit) fully-clothed on a treatment couch. The therapist will make contact by placing their hands lightly on your body. Contact is made carefully so that you will feel at ease with what is happening.

Craniosacral therapy is so gentle that it is suitable for babies, children, the elderly, as well as adults and people in fragile or acutely painful conditions.
