Craniosacral Therapy with Lorraine Houlihan

Discover the Healing Power of Craniosacral Therapy: gentle, effective therapy for all ages.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, light touch therapy designed to enhance the Craniosacral System. Performed on fully clothed clients, this therapy aims to support and improve overall wellbeing.

The Importance of the Central Nervous System (CNS)

The Central Nervous System is crucial for ensuring our bodies function correctly. As the Craniosacral System houses the CNS, it too plays a significant role in maintaining our health and wellbeing.

Craniosacral Rhythm

Cerebrospinal fluid circulates around the brain and spinal cord, providing protection, distributing nutrients, and removing waste products. This fluid moves in a gentle rhythm that can be felt anywhere in the body.

How It Works

Stress and Tension
Life experiences can place stress on our bodies, leading to tensions that distort the Craniosacral System and impact the Central Nervous System. This can hinder our ability to function properly and self-heal.

Treatment Process
A Craniosacral Therapist tunes into the rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid to evaluate the Craniosacral System. Gentle manual techniques are used to release restrictions, which can be located within the Craniosacral System or elsewhere in the body. The forces used are very light, generally about 5g of pressure, equivalent to the weight of a 10c coin.
