Frequently Asked Questions
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, profound treatment, developed by Dr. John Upledger, an osteopath, which uses very light touch to encourage the release of stresses throughout the body, tapping into your body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself. It can be used for people of all ages and is often found to be effective when other forms of manual therapy have been unsuccessful.
How can it help me?
Craniosacral therapy can be helpful in a large variety of conditions and may be helpful where there has been a poor response to other manual techniques. Also, due to its gentle nature, it can be used for people of all ages.
What is a Craniosacral Therapy session like?
A typical craniosacral therapy session lasts from 45 minutes to an hour, and takes place in a relaxed, private setting. You remain fully clothed throughout the treatment. What you experience during a craniosacral therapy session is highly individual. You may experience deep relaxation, insights, releases or a sense of peace. Some people even fall asleep. At the end of your session, I will answer any questions you may have about what you experienced or what to expect after the treatment. You are welcome to make another appointment at that time, or you may want to wait to see how your sense of well-being improves before rescheduling. There is never a long-term commitment or pressure to schedule more appointments.
How will I feel after a Craniosacral Therapy session?
Just as each individual experiences craniosacral therapy sessions differently, the results can be diverse as well. You may leave in such a relaxed state that you feel like sleeping for hours, or you may leave full of boundless energy. You may feel a decrease in pain or an increase in function immediately after the session, or the effects may develop gradually over the next few days. Because craniosacral therapy helps the body resume its natural healing processes, it’s common for your improvements to continue weeks after the session.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
Each individual response to treatment is unique and therefore the number of sessions needed to resolve any particular condition varies widely. Your response is uniquely your own and can’t be compared to anyone else’s — even those cases that may appear to be similar to your own.
There is never a long-term commitment or pressure to schedule more appointments.
