What does a Craniosacral Session look like?  

• After a brief, seated consultation, the client will lie, face up and clothed, on a massage table.  
• I will check the strength of the client's Craniosacral rhythm at a couple of  'listening stations:' their ankles, hips, ribs, shoulders, and cranium (skull), feeling for where their cranial rhythm is strong and where it is restricted.   
• As I go through all the 'listening stations,' the client's primary point of restriction will become evident.   This is the specific place in their body which is most overloaded--and, as a result, may also be forcing the rest of their body to compensate, creating painful secondary restrictions.   
• In simple terms, Craniosacral therapy treats the primary restriction, by making contact with the client in such a gentle, precise way, it creates space for the overloaded area to naturally unwind.   It's much like pushing a drawer gently back in before easing the drawer out:   Instead of trying to wrestle open the overloaded area in your body with force, just adding a gentle inward pressure, helps the existing restriction to slowly unwind.    This, in turn, allows any connected, secondary restrictions to also unwind.   It sounds too simple, but the proof is in the results.  
• Oftentimes, during a Craniosacral Therapy session, clients will fall asleep as long-held restrictions and patterns settle.   Sometimes when releasing, say, tensions surrounding a traumatic accident, emotions may surface and be released as the muscle tissue lets go.  In this way a Craniosacral therapy session or series of them can help clients can let go of both the physical and emotional impact, accidents or traumatic injuries have had upon them.
