CranioSacral Therapy

The Healing Power of a Gentle Touch

Practitioner: Christine Chisholm (McKay School of Massage and Hydrotherapy, Saskatoon)

The cranium and the sacrum are joined by the spine, which carries all information from the body to the brain. This is the “ body intelligence.”

CranioSacral Therapy naturally eliminates pain and stress by releasing body tensions to allow the entire body to relax, self-correct and strengthen resistance to disease. Practitioners evaluate your internal environment with help from the “body intlligence”, then use light touch techniques to release any restrictions they find. Body infornmation gleaned by the practitioner can be provided to the patient to provide feedback on practices that may help or hinder healing. CranioSacral Therapy is also extremely effective with newborns, helping to readjust their bodies after the stress of childbirth.
