Cranial Sacral Therapy
Cranial sacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that supports the body’s natural healing by releasing tension in the nervous system and improving the flow of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord. It’s especially beneficial for relieving stress, headaches, sleep disturbances, and trauma stored in the body—making it a powerful tool for deep, lasting healing. This therapy works beautifully alongside chiropractic care by addressing the subtle, underlying restrictions that chiropractic adjustments may not fully reach. While chiropractic focuses on structural alignment, craino sacral therapy enhances the fluid, energetic, and neurological balance—creating a more complete and harmonious approach to wellness.​
