Osteopathic Craniosacral Therapy

LBBS - Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that involves the manipulation of the skull, spine, and other parts of the body to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. The therapy is based on the belief that the bones of the skull and spine are capable of subtle movements that can be used to diagnose and treat various conditions.

During a craniosacral osteopathy session, the therapist will use gentle touch and pressure to identify areas of tension or restriction in the body, particularly in the skull, spine, and pelvis. They will then use various techniques to manipulate these areas, with the goal of restoring normal movement and promoting the body's natural healing processes.

The therapy is often used to treat a range of conditions, including headaches, chronic pain, digestive disorders, and anxiety. However, its effectiveness for these conditions is controversial, and more research is needed to determine its safety and efficacy.
​
Craniosacral osteopathy is typically performed by licensed osteopaths, chiropractors, or massage therapists who have undergone specialized training in the technique. It is generally considered a safe therapy, although there are some risks, particularly for individuals with certain medical conditions or who are pregnant. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before undergoing any form of manual therapy.
