Promoting Optimal Health
Exploring Craniosacral Therapy at Root Therapy & Wellness
At Root Therapy & Wellness, our occupational therapists take a holistic approach to well-being, focusing on the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, non-invasive technique that complements our patient-centered care, promoting relaxation and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
Understanding Craniosacral Therapy
Enhancing Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow
Craniosacral therapy involves gentle manipulation of the tissues and bones surrounding the central nervous system to improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid moves through the craniosacral channels 6-8 times per minute. If this movement is impacted by injury or trauma, it can affect the healing process. Craniosacral therapy aims to release tensions and restore the natural flow, promoting relaxation and overall health.
Signs of Craniosacral System Issues
When the flow of cerebrospinal fluid is disrupted, it can lead to various symptoms, including:
- Cognitive concerns: behavioral problems, memory loss, difficulties with concentration
- Stress and emotional problems: such as tension, depression, anxiety, and PTSD
- Pain, including: tinnitus, headaches, migraines, neck/jaw/back pain
- Other conditions like: fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, digestive issues, and learning difficulties
