Craniosacral Therapy
"Movement gives health and life. Stagnation brings disease and death."
Craniosacral Therapy is a non-invasive, profound and powerful hands-on therapy, where the practitioner, by gentle touch, tunes in to the client's body to sense patterns of health expressed in their physiology. The practitioner is able to sense if there are any compressions of tissue or blockages which alter the natural expression of health, and with a touch engage in subtle conversation with tissue and fluids to help the body release those blockages, find balance, and enhance their own immune system and innate self-healing processes.
What Conditions Can Be Treated?
People come to Craniosacral Therapy for a variety of reasons, but most often because they have acute physical problems like headaches or bad backs, or long-standing problems both physical and emotional, that may not have responded to more traditional and well-known treatments. Having a medical condition isn't a necessity, though, as some people come to Cranio looking for support for their busy lives, and to help them meet and manage life’s challenges.
The Professional Explanation of Craniosacral Therapy
The emphasis in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is to help resolve the trapped forces that underlie and govern patterns of disease and fragmentation in both body and mind. This involves the practitioner developing finely-tuned skills of palpation and perception to sense the body's subtle rhythms and any patterns of inertia or congestion. Through the development of these skills the practitioner can read the story of the body, identify places where issues are held and then follow the natural priorities for healing as directed by the patient's physiology.

Testimonials
Whilst researching for alternative therapies for gastric reflux, I found that craniosacral therapy was recommended for this condition. It is a very gentle and non invasive therapy that can aid many conditions including neck pain from which I also suffer persistently. Both of these conditions were having a major impact on my daily life. Following a few sessions of craniosacral therapy with Ania, my gastric reflux is so minimal that it is easily managed by diet alone and my neck pain is no longer evident. I would wholeheartedly recommend this type of therapy as its many benefits can promote an holistic state of wellbeing and it has definitely given me back a happy daily life. (May 2018)
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis 3 years ago, and since that time I have had the sensation of tension inside my neck. Doctors have shrugged and said: "Thyroid problems come with different symptoms", but they don’t have any idea how to stop it. Whilst the hormone balance in my body is under control with hormone supplementation (the only treatment traditional medicine can offer) the feeling doesn’t disappear.
During the session of Craniosacral Therapy with Ania (the first in my life!) at one point I felt as if something inside became opened. I even heard a sound of "opening". After it, there was just a feeling of deep relaxation inside my neck. I have to say that besides this effect, it was the most gentle, soothing and relaxing therapy I have ever had. Thank you Ania! Keep it up! I hope all your patients are as thankful as I am. (September 2015)
