What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on form of treatment that has been developed from western Osteopathy in the the last 40 years.'I had been suffering with tennis elbow for a number of weeks. The day after a craniosacral treatment with Siān the pain had gone. Some weeks later the pain came back but another treatment did the trick and since then I am pain free.'
Barbara Trznadel, Charity director
How do I choose which treatment to have?
Shiatsu and Craniosacral Therapy both have their own particular advantages. Broadly speaking Shiatsu works more with movement and Craniosacral therapy more with stillness. Unless you already know which treatment you want, I will make a recommendation based on your needs.
How long is a treatment?
The actual treatment takes between 35 and 45 minutes, but I ask people to allow an hour, so we have time for questions and for you to rest afterwards.
How many treatments will I need?
This varies according to why you are coming for Craniosacral Therapy. Generally speaking the longer a person has had a problem the longer it will take to treat. Most people with a specific complaint will have several treatments at weekly intervals until some definite improvement is maintained, before decreasing the frequency of treatment. After a course of treatment, many people will still choose to come for Craniosacral Therapy on a monthly or seasonal basis to maintain health.
What should I wear?
Loose, comfortable clothing such as track suit trousers.
