Cranio-sacral therapy in Fife

What is Cranio-sacral therapy?

Cranio-sacral therapy is a deeply profound healing process that can help influence the deeply held physical and psychological patterns, which accumulate throughout life due to injury, illness, or trauma and become stored in the body tissues ill-health and dysfunction. It can potentially transform these patterns of restriction and resistance in our lives at a fundamental level, thereby helping to alleviate symptoms of disease and restore vitality. Cranio-sacral therapy involves a very gentle touch of the practitioner’s hands, both for diagnosis and treatment. This light contact may be on the cranium, the sacrum or any other part of the body as appropriate, in what has been described as a “butterfly touch” sensation. Through this light touch, the practitioner can pick up subtle patterns of emotion within the body – rhythms, pulls, and pulsations – emanating from profoundly rooted core structures of the body. These movements may be a reflection of cranio-sacral motion which is expressed in all tissue throughout the body. Every condition affecting a person helps to influence this movement, creating asymmetries or restrictions to cranio-sacral motion.
