What is Craniosacral Massage?

Craniosacral massage is a gentle, non-invasive form of bodywork that focuses on the craniosacral system—a system comprising the membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Developed by osteopathic physician Dr. John Upledger in the 1970s, this therapy aims to enhance the body's natural healing abilities by releasing restrictions in the craniosacral system. At New Heights Massage Therapy Inc., this technique is offered as part of a comprehensive approach to wellness.

The Technique

During a craniosacral massage session, the practitioner uses light touch, often no more than the weight of a nickel, to assess and treat restrictions in the craniosacral system. The therapist's hands are placed gently on the patient's body, primarily around the head, neck, and back. By detecting subtle rhythms and movements, they can identify areas of tension or dysfunction.

The session usually lasts about an hour. The environment is calm and quiet, allowing the patient to relax deeply, which enhances the therapeutic process.

Benefits of Craniosacral Massage

Craniosacral massage is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including:

• Chronic Pain: By addressing restrictions in the craniosacral system, this therapy can alleviate chronic pain conditions such as headaches, neck pain, and back pain.

• Stress and Tension: The gentle nature of the treatment helps reduce stress and tension in the body, promoting relaxation and emotional well-being.

• Sleep Disorders: Many recipients report improved sleep quality following treatment due to the overall calming effect on the nervous system.

• Neurological Conditions: Conditions like migraines, vertigo, and certain types of nerve dysfunction may benefit from craniosacral therapy.
