FAQs
What should I expect on the initial visit?
You should assume your first visit will be around ninety minutes beginning with a health history and followed by a full body evaluation. Your treatment will then consist of a combination of manual-based therapies that are best suited to treat your condition. This work mainly involves light touch and pressure applied to different regions of the body. Many of our patients find these treatments to be a uniquely relaxing and healing experience.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on what your goals are, what symptoms you suffer from, and how easily your system responds to treatment. As a general rule, three to ten sessions will make a significant impact on most people’s health, and in some cases only one session can make a difference in how you feel. Once you are satisfied with your treatment progress, an occasional tune-up is encouraged to maintain optimal health.
How will I feel during treatment?
While each individual responds to treatment very differently, our goal is to use a broad range of manual therapies during your treatment to deliver a more relaxed and healing experience while we are working through the treatment of your specific pain issues.
Why craniosacral therapy?
Let’s face it-keeping life in balance is a challenge for everyone. Whether you are experiencing too much stress, have aches and pains that just don’t quit, or interested in preventative wellness – this gentle form of bodywork will address your specific needs and will be a deeply relaxing and therapeutic experience. Following the treatment, you will enjoy increased comfort, flexibility, and balance in your body. Everyone has the inherent wisdom to attain true health, and at times the body just needs some gentle encouragement to realize this true potential.
Who can benefit from this type of therapy?
Everyone will benefit, though for some, the improvement may be more dramatic than others. Because this therapeutic approach will restore the body’s natural state of health in the brain and nervous system, it is excellent for prevention of chronic conditions including stiffness, inflammation, and immune imbalances, as well as for healing injuries – even ones that occurred long ago that may still be affecting you. Other conditions that are especially responsive to treatment include bodily pain and injuries, headaches, and TMJ/dental problems. Of course, this treatment is also excellent as a preventive therapy because it helps to resolve systemic imbalances within the body.
