Cranio-sacral therapy/birth work at The Disability Foundation
Cranio-sacral therapy is a safe hands on therapy, using light touch to encourage the body to heal itself, without using manipulation. A diagnostic and healing approach based on the application of corrective pressure to the cranium and spine.
It is based on the theory that every cell in a healthy body expresses a rhythmic movement, which is fundamental to life – this is called cranio-sacral motion. Therapists are trained to feel this subtle motion in the body and can use it to identify areas where there is congestion or restriction.
It is gentle, suitable for all ages and for those in a fragile or acutely painful condition. Babies can particularly benefit from this therapy, responding quickly to infant problems such as colic, breathing difficulties, restlessness, which may be caused by cranio-sacral imbalances caused during the birth process. Suitable for any child, particularly useful for commonly occurring health complaints and conditions and for those where other more traditional methods cannot help.
