Do you suffer from Stress?
Craniosacral Therapy restores calm to the mind and body
Craniosacral Therapy is a soft tissue treatment that works to release tension & settle the stress response of the nervous system back into calm. The practitioner uses very light contact and works with the inherent fluid & tissue movements of the body. The result is long term tension release & restoration of calm to the nervous system. Most clients feel the difference after the first session.
About stress
Stress is our response to difficulty or challenges in our lives & is a helpful response in that moment. However we are good at turning on the stress response but not so good at turning it off. When we regularly have stressors in our life the stress response (sympathetic response) becomes the default state – even if we don’t notice. We usually notice the symptoms though – tight muscles, jaw tension, headaches, indigestion, fatigue & interrupted sleep. Longer term sympathetic response can result in deep fatigue, reduced cognitive function & adrenal burnout.
How Craniosacral can help with stress
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle contact based therapy that releases stress and activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and recover mode). Long term stress becomes subconscious, e.g our brain keeps running it when we have no reason for it. Subconscious stress states needs support to release because thinking about relaxing alone no longer has the desired effect. The nervous system needs convincing that it is no longer in danger & it is safe to slow down again. Craniosacral Therapy provides a powerful way to disengage the sympathetic nervous system via gentle contact working with the inherent fluid & tissue movements of the body. CST sessions are 1 hour with around 40 minutes of treatment time. Book a session to see how good you can feel when you release stress and restore calm.
