How Does Craniosacral Therapy Work?

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle hands‒on approach that uses light pressure to evaluate and enhance the functioning of the craniosacral system. This focused therapy helps reduce muscle tension and restore balance to the body as a non‒invasive treatment. By facilitating healing in this way, craniosacral therapy supports the body's natural healing processes much more effectively than traditional massage therapy alone. The gentle techniques can reach deeper into the nervous system and heal dysfunction that would normally require more intensive interventions.
At Nurtiva, we provide optimal treatment plan protocols to meet the needs of our patients. Our services can help you with a variety of conditions including pelvic floor pain while promoting motion and enhancing well‒being.
