The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and fluids that surround, protect and nourish the spinal cord and brain.  Injuries and even daily stress can cause tensions and restrictions affecting the brain and spinal cord, and thus the entire nervous system.   These restrictions can be detected and corrected through a system of light touch developed by Dr. John Upledger in the 1970’s.  The spinal fluid has an actual pulse, and through gentle touch on the head, spine and sacrum, flow of spinal fluid can be improved enabling the body to heal itself. Craniosacral therapy is used for many ailments, but is especially effective for nervous system issues, headaches, back problems and autoimmune diseases.  Craniosacral treatments are an excellent preventative health measure because they will  bolster your natural immune system.  The body has the ability to heal itself, and like other holistic modalities, the goal of craniosacral treatment is to bring your body into balance to facilitate this natural process.
