The therapy focuses on reducing tension and stress in the meningeal membrane and its fascial connections to enhance the functioning of the Craniosacral system, a fluid circulatory system that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord. It is most commonly used to treat headaches, TMJ-related jaw pain, ear infections, strokes and other ailments.
Craniosacral therapists subtly manipulate the bones of the face, head, vertebral column, and the membranes beneath the skull, allowing free movement by the cerebrospinal fluid and balancing energy fields. Because it involves fairly delicate manipulations of the spine and skull, craniosacral therapy is most often used by chiropractors, osteopaths and acupuncturists in their practice.
