Cranial-Sacral Therapy is doctor recommended for specific symptoms including fibromyalgia, neck and back pain, congestion, migraines, mental stress, TMJ syndrome and even traumatic brain syndrome Cranial-Sacral therapists often work more directly with emotional and psychological aspects of the patient. After-therapy, patients often experience a deep sense of relaxation and may even feel light-headed. This is closely associated with increases in endorphins.
A typical Cranial-Sacral therapy session lasts one hour and begins with the patient lying face up, fully-clothed. The therapist then places his/her hands lightly on the patient’s body, “tuning in” by “listening with their hands.” Â By tuning in, the therapist is able to feel for the crainiosacral system. The therapist gently works with the spine and skull, easing the restrictions of nerve passages, and restoring misaligned bones back to their proper position. The movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord is said to be optimized, allowing for freer motion. Â Â
Depending upon the restrictions of the individual patient upon entering the spa for therapy, it may take as little as one visit for the therapy to take effect. Five grams of pressure is all it takes to realign cranial and spinal plates during this procedure. Â Â Â In 1975, osteopathic physician John E. Upledger began working with neurophysiologist Ernest W. Retzlaff to further study a theory proposed in the late 1800s by William Sutherland. Both doctors observed and interpreted the concept of cranial bone movement and rhythm, publishing their results and creating a therapy known today as Cranial-Sacral Therapy.
