CranioSacral Therapy at InnerWorks
Every day you endure stresses and strains which your body absorbs. Your body can only handle so much tension before the tissues begin to tighten and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord. This chronic tension can compromise the function of the central nervous system and the performance of nearly every other system of your body.
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system – comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Starting with the weight of about a nickel practitioners evaluate your internal environment to locate and release any restrictions they find. Releasing these restrictions can help to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, naturally eliminate pain and stress, strengthen your resistance to disease and enhance your health and well-being.

What To Expect From a Session?
A typical CST session will last about an hour, and takes place in a quiet room, with you remaining fully clothed and relaxed on a comfortable padded table. Lorie listens carefully with her hands to locate areas of tension or restriction, then, using gentle manual techniques will assist the body in releasing those restrictions. Craniosacral therapy may be used alone or combined with other subtle therapies to create powerful effects. The sessions are generally deeply relaxing, creating feelings of warmth or gentle pulsing in the areas the therapist is working on.
