Gentle hands-on craniosacral therapy by a trained osteopath to release tension in the craniosacral system, improve nervous system function, and enhance overall relaxation and well-being.

Gentle Osteopathic Treatment to Support the Nervous System & Whole-Body Balance

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) — also known as Cranial Osteopathy — is a gentle, hands-on approach that focuses on supporting the nervous system by working with subtle movements of the skull, spine, and sacrum. It is particularly effective for stress-related conditions, headaches, and nervous system imbalance.

What Is Craniosacral Therapy / Cranial Osteopathy?

Craniosacral therapy is a specialised osteopathic technique that uses light, precise touch to assess and release restrictions in the craniosacral system — the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

By improving the body’s natural rhythms and reducing tension, cranial osteopathy supports relaxation, pain relief, and nervous system regulation.

Conditions That May Benefit from Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy may help with:

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Neck and jaw (TMJ) tension

  • Stress, anxiety, and burnout-related symptoms

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Post-concussion symptoms

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Nervous system dysregulation

  • Recovery after injury or surgery

  • Infants and children with tension-related concerns

How Craniosacral Therapy Works

Using extremely gentle pressure, the osteopath listens to the body’s natural rhythms and releases restrictions within the craniosacral system.

Treatment may involve:

  • Gentle cranial holds

  • Release of fascial and membranous tension

  • Balancing of the spine and sacrum

  • Nervous system calming techniques

  • Integration with manual osteopathy or visceral work

Treatment is non-invasive, deeply relaxing, and tailored to each individual.
