Is Anxiety or Depression interfering with your ability to fully enjoy your life? While there are many approaches to overcoming these disorders, CranioSacral Therapy may be your answer. CranioSacral Therapy is a non-invasive, non-medicative therapy that uses light touch to bring your central nervous system back into balance. It has been used successfully to treat both anxiety and depression.

The CranioSacral System consists of the brain, spinal cord, membranes and fluid within it. The fluid has a rhythm all it’s own, like your heartbeat or pulse. When there is a disruption in the system, dysfunction can occur.

A disruption means that the cerebral spinal fluid is not flowing to it’s maximum potential. It can be caused by an accident such as a blow to the head or a fall. A disruption can also occur from any sort of repeated physical or emotional stress.

To correct a disruption, your therapist will begin by gently touching various parts of your body to monitor the rhythm of fluid that is flowing around your central nervous system. The therapist is able to locate areas of weak fluid flow or limited tissue motion and help to increase the viability of the system.

In general, CranioSacral Therapy is very relaxing and many people report feeling exceptionally grounded immediately after a session. Many people suffering from depression report feeling better after just one session. However, the number of treatments needed varies from just one up to three or more a week over the course of several weeks. Your individual situation and the length of time you have been experiencing your symptoms will determine how quickly you respond to the treatment and how long the results last.
