Gentle, hands-on treatment that releases tension and restores body-wide balance.
Harmony and Restoration with Cranial Sacral Therapy in Holladay
Cranial Sacral Therapy (often called craniosacral massage) is a light-touch modality that works with the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord. By easing subtle restrictions in this system, the therapy encourages your body’s self-healing mechanisms, calms the nervous system, and relieves deep-seated tension. Ideal for people coping with migraines, TMJ discomfort, whiplash after-effects, chronic neck pain, or lingering stress, this treatment offers profound relaxation without heavy pressure or oil. Sessions are performed fully clothed in soft, breathable attire.
How Cranial Sacral Massage Works
- Gentle Palpation – The therapist applies pressure of approximately 5 grams (equivalent to the weight of a nickel) to the skull, spine, and sacrum.
- “Unwinding” Technique – Your bones act as levers to release muscle and fascia adhesions from past stress or trauma.
- Rhythm Balancing – Subtle adjustments help normalize the craniosacral rhythm, improving fluid flow around the brain and spine.
- Body-Wide Integration – As restrictions release, the therapy can trigger a full-body relaxation response that continues long after the session ends.
What to Expect in a Session
- Consultation & Comfort Positioning – Discuss goals and medical history; lie on a massage table in loose clothing.
- Light-Touch Assessment – Therapist feels for areas of restriction along the craniosacral pathway.
- Targeted Release – Slow, still holds at the skull, neck, spine, and sacrum help tissues “unwind.”
- Integration Pause – Short rest periods allow your body to process shifts before moving on.
Post-Session Guidance – Simple hydration and gentle-movement tips to extend benefits.
