Embrace Wellbeing With The Gentle Touch Of Craniosacral Therapy
Speak to UsCraniosacral therapy involves light, gentle touch to detect and support the craniosacral rhythm by gently holding, cradling and supporting specific areas of the body including the skull, spin and sacrum.
Craniosacral therapy was developed in the 1970’s by Dr. John Upledger, an American osteopathic physician. Dr. Upledger proposed that gentle manipulation and assessment of the craniosacral system could be used to detect and correct imbalances and restrictions, leading to improvements in overall health and wellbeing.
Craniosacral therapy is a holistic approach that considers the interconnection of physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of health. The goal is to promote balance and self-healing.

If you are considering a craniosacral therapy session but are unsure, our certified practitioner will be happy to have a session with you to assess your current challenges and discuss the best options moving forward.
Craniosacral therapy is a non-invasive gentle modality. However, often times the body is holding in a lot of emotional pain and soreness. As such, at times, a side effect of craniosacral therapy can be an accessing and releasing of these pains. This is a helpful aspect of craniosacral therapy as it is healing to release the pains that are withheld in the body. However, there are times when this may seem overwhelming. That is why at bmy, we believe in a collaborative approach with our clients. Our therapists want to hear from you and discuss with you your experience along the way so that treatment can continue to be adjusted and refined to support you towards greater resilience and wellness
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle-contact approach. The quality of the contact is intended to be supportive to the body’s internal impulse towards re-balance.
