In a way, Craniosacral Therapy has many similarities to the principles of organic farming: encouraging the crops (clients) to be bloomingly healthy, and strong enough to resist disease (illness) by natural means. Preventing problems by promoting good health... 

One of the central tenets of Craniosacral Therapy is that health is never lost - it may be diminished at times, certainly, but there is always the scope for improving it; helping a person be the best they can be, given the circumstances. 

A Craniosacral Therapist has been trained to have exquisite sensitivity to the very subtle motions of the cranial bones, the sacrum, and the ebbing and flowing of cerebrospinal fluid, which bathes and nourishes the central nervous system. When a person is in robust good health, this fluid will be expressed with vigour and vitality, and the effects of its motion will be palpable throughout the body. A number of factors affect health, however, with psychological and emotional conditions being inextricably linked with the physical. 

As you lie, fully clothed, on a treatment couch, I make very gentle contact with my hands and 'listen' to how the craniosacral motion is being expressed. My hands serve as a mirror to your body, you might say, as they reflect back what I am sensing within you. This produces a conscious awareness in your body of your internal movements, and this alone can bring about change. It can allow an area which may have been functioning in a somewhat haphazard way to become integrated once more with the whole. 

Craniosacral treatments are generally experienced as extremely relaxing, with a subsequent surge of energy and feeling of well-being that can often be felt for days afterwards. This is a holistic therapy that is designed to treat the whole person rather than concentrating on specific conditions.
