Craniosacral Therapy for Infants, Pregnancy and Postpartum

What is Craniosacral Therapy? The (CSS) craniosacral system consists of the brain and spinal cord, the three membranes that completely surround it, the craniosacral fluid within the membranes and the facial connections to the bones of the cranium, cervical vertebrae and sacrum. This therapy assesses the body for restrictions and uses gentle light touch to encourage expansion, mobility and healing.
