How exactly does this work?
Balancing the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch, the practitioner releases restrictions in the soft tissues around the central nervous system.
What to expect? This can be done completely dressed or incorporated with a massage. The 90min session will be incorporated into massage. Too much craniosacral can be a lot on your nervous system.
