- Positioning: You will lie face-up on a massage table fully clothed. The therapist will also use pillows or props to ensure your comfort and support during the session.
- Gentle Touch: The therapist will use gentle, non-invasive touch techniques to assess and manipulate various parts of your body, particularly focusing on the craniosacral system, which includes the bones, membranes, and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
- Listening Hands: A key aspect of craniosacral therapy is the therapist’s ability to “listen” to the subtle rhythms and movements within your body. They may use their hands to detect areas of imbalance or restriction and facilitate the body’s natural healing processes.
- Release and Integration: Through gentle manipulation and holding of specific areas, the therapist aims to release tension, improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, and restore balance within the craniosacral system. This can help alleviate symptoms, promote relaxation, and support overall health and well-being.
- Feedback and Follow-up: Throughout the session, the therapist may periodically check in with you to assess your comfort level and gather feedback on your experience. They may also provide recommendations for self-care practices or additional sessions based on your individual progress and goals.
- Closure: At the end of the session, the therapist will gently conclude the treatment and may offer guidance on post-session care or follow-up appointments as needed.
