      Craniosacral Therapy is especially beneficial in treating conditions that involve the brain & nervous system because you are specifically working with the tissues surrounding the brain & spinal cord and the cerebral spinal fluid that nourishes them. Since the brain controls every other system in the body, Craniosacral Therapy can effect every system in the body. It also encourages your body's own healing mechanisms and can bolster the body's immune system. Here is a list of the common conditions that have benefited from Craniosacral Therapy:

Head injuries

Spinal cord injuries
Head aches & migraines
