Treatment - CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy is a light, touch therapy, using specific techniques and intent, to bring the CranioSacral systems rhythm to an accepted level of health of between 6 to 12 cycles per minute.
It can work at a physical structural level and it can, if necessary work at an emotional level, to release deep rooted emotional trauma, whos origins may be the reason behind longterm illness and pain patterns.
The CranioSacral Techniques used within Touch Of Healing are those developed by Dr John Upledger and incorporate somatemotional release, imagery and dialogue, direct energy techniques aswell as fascial work.
Due to its gentle and subtle approach CranioSacral Therapy is extremely helpful in treating newborns where the birth may have been stressful, which can be evident through the baby having feeding difficulties or colic problems and so on. In older children with developmental and behavioural problems and those who fall within the autism spectrum, it can have an extremely beneficial effect.
