Cranio sacral is the name given to the approach to osteopathy developed by Dr Sutherland about one hundred years ago.

He noted that the bone structure of the skull permitted slight motion and that any restriction of the normal motion due to injury, trauma or disease could affect health.

The cranial osteopath works with the bones in the skull to remedy such conditions, and a trained cranio sacral reflexologist can achieve the same results as the bones of the feet reflect the skull and sacrum exactly.

A reflexologist has a highly developed sense of palpation and can feel the fundamental life force of a person by these gentle techniques.

This life force energy underlies our very existence and maintains our well being, vitality and vibrancy in every part of our body.  Any disruption or disturbance to the flow or rhythm affects the balance (or homeostasis) of the body and mind.

The life force energy originates within the brain and spinal cord and the fluid that surrounds them.

A trained cranio sacral reflexologist can palpate any disruption of the life force by treating the bones of the feet which reflect exactly the skull and sacrum.  Cranio sacral reflexology can be used in many instances and can address physical pain, acute and chronic disease, emotional or psychological disturbances, or simply help to develop wellbeing, health and vitality.

Cranio sacral therapy is suitable for babies, children and the elderly, as well as people with painful conditions because it is so gentle.  Treatment can aid almost any condition, raising vitality and encouraging the body’s natural ability for self-repair.

The treatment is profoundly relaxing and exhilarating.  Most people feel benefits very quickly and generally see enough improvement after four weeks to know that it is going to work.
