Frequently Asked Questions
What is craniosacral therapy?
|
Craniosacral therapy is one
of the gentlest therapies for dealing with stress and trauma.
Craniosacral Therapy is a
development of osteopathy and is extremely sensitive to the needs of the
body. Many symptoms respond well to a treatment programme. It is
suitable to use with adults, babies and children. A non-invasive and
very gentle, supportive way of working.
Partially based on the
theory of 'cell memory' it works on the premise that different
muscles/body cells hold the trauma issues (which can sometimes lead to
physical problems) and can be released.
 Craniosacral therapy
trusts the 'wisdom of the body' that it will deal with the issues when
it is ready and at its own speed. As craniosacral therapy strengthens
the body, past trauma may come up but only when you are ready to deal
with it. Nothing is forced.
Craniosacral therapy can
release the patterns which cause physical and emotional problems at
source. So after the initial session programme you do not have to keep
going back repeatedly for more work on the same problems. |
Is craniosacral
therapy safe for my baby?
Because the therapy
is so gentle it can be used on new born babies. It is helpful for
symptoms such as colic and can help where babies cry excessively. If a
baby has been through caesarean section, suction, or forceps
sometimes the skull bones can be affected and a craniosacral therapist
can readjust this using extremely light touch. Childhood problems such
as Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHS), autism, bed-wetting
and asthma often respond well to craniosacral therapy.
What qualifications do
craniosacral therapists have?
In order to practice as a fully
registered craniosacral therapist it is necessary to have a good anatomical
qualification and study for 2 years to obtain a Diploma (following practical and
theoretical examinations) from a school approved by the
Craniosacral Therapy Association. You are required to provide details of
fully approved Continuing Professional Development and be fully insured to
remain registered with the Association.
