What is cranial therapy?

The healthy, vital tissues in our bodies subtly 'breathe' with the motion of life. This motion, which is known as the 'primary respiration', establishes the rhythm of all movement in the body. When this delicate rhythm is expressed in a smooth and full manner, we experience health and a sense of well-being.

When, however, the natural rhythmical movements of the body become repeatedly disrupted due to physical and emotional stress, we experience imbalance and dysfunction. Cranial therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of assessing the movement of the subtle pulses of the body. Directed by the patient's own physiology, practitioners guide the body back into balance with the primary respiration. By enhancing the expression of the natural rhythms of the body, the patient enters a state of deep relaxation, which then stimulates the body's natural healing process.

Cranial therapy is a sophisticated approach to healing that acknowledges the interconnections of mind, body and spirit. It is an effective form of treatment for a wide range of health challenges, both acute and chronic, and is suitable for people of all ages. Cranial treatments complement any health care program by creating the optimal conditions for health, encouraging vitality and facilitating a deep sense of well-being.
