Craniosacral Therapy​​​

​

Craniosacral Therapists provide a safe and gentle hands-on therapy using light touch to effect a deep healing within the body via the craniosacral system. They seek to enhance health by integrating body, mind and emotions, utilising the person’s own natural healing potential.

Craniosacral Therapists typically treat a range of physical ailments and stresses.

 

SESSIONS ARE CONDUCTED FULLY CLOTHED, USUALLY ON A MASSAGE COUCH, AND IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF QUIET STILLNESS (although this is led by the needs of the individual) WITH MINIMAL TOUCH AND WITHOUT PHYSICAL MANIPULATION.

​

To be accredited  as a Craniosacral Therapist in the UK it is necessary to train for a minimum of two or three years, in order to be registered with one of two professional bodies; ICRA (The International Cranial Association) or CSTA (The Craniosacral Therapy Association). Only then is it also possible to be registered with the CNHC (the Complementary and Healthcare Council), the professional standards authority.

ORIGINS

Craniosacral Therapy originates from osteopathy, where its founder (William Garner Sutherland) discovered an involuntary system of ‘breathing’ in body tissues that he believed was important for the maintenance of health. Sutherland found that the central nervous system, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that bathes it, also have a rhythmic motion. He felt that the motions were organised by an inherent life force that he named ‘The Breath of Life’, and the principal motion he called Primary Respiratory Motion. This primary respiration is considered to be a crucial element of health by Craniosacral therapists.​​ 


Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST), pioneered by Franklyn Sills at The Karuna Institute, is often seen as a more spiritual approach to craniosacral therapy, where practitioners learn to enter a state of presence oriented to the client's inherent ability to heal.​​
