Your skull is made up of eight cranial bones and 14 facial bones, which normally have subtle independent movements. However, stress, physical strain or emotional tension can sometimes lead to these bones feeling restricted or held tightly together. According to traditional cranial therapy principles, this restriction may influence your overall sense of wellbeing.
The bones in your head are closely connected to the rest of your body, and cranial therapy aims to gently support the natural movement between the cranium and sacrum (at the base of the spine). This hands-on therapy involves gentle pulsations and light touch applied to these areas.
By encouraging the natural rhythm of the body’s subtle movements, cranial therapy helps promote relaxation, relieve tension and offers a feeling of increased ease. Many clients report a greater sense of balance and calm following treatment.
This therapy is based on holistic concepts that consider physical, emotional, and energetic influences accumulated throughout life, such as physical stresses, emotional challenges and unresolved tensions. Cranial therapy provides a supportive environment to release these constraints, helping you feel more connected and aligned.
