The basic premise of a Cranial session is to re-establish the Natural state of health & order in the body.

Cranial Sacral Therapy seeks to restore the natural rhythmic movement found between the bones of the skull. It does the same for the movements of the sacrum. The purpose of this is to aid the circulation of the fluid called the Cerebrospinal fluid, which is defined as a fluid that circulates throughout the central nervous system  The cerebrospinal fluid is located between the brain and skull. Therefore, it has 2 important benefits to the central nervous system:

the cerbrospinal fluid delivers nutrients to the structures of the nervous system

the cerebrospinal fluid removes wastes from the brain and spinal cord, detoxifying the environment of the nervous system

the cerbrospinal fluid protects the brain and spinal cord from trauma brought upon by movement, falls, blows, etc.

In a typical CranioSacral Therapy session the client remains clothed and lies on their back (if possible) on the treatment table. The therapist may place their hands on key evaluation areas such as the ankles, head, neck, lower back, assessing the state of the client's CranioSacral system.

The treatment itself involves the application of very light forces applied by the therapist's hands.
Limbs may be picked up and moved gently and slowly as the body tissues are allowed to 'unwind' themselves.

A typical session lasts an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. - though half-hour sessions may be better for children and infants.
