While the validity of the cardiovascular and respiratory rhythms is undisputed today, for eons the very existence of these systems sparked debates in medical communities around the West. In 1899, distinguished american osteopath and visionary William Garner Sutherland came across an ancient way of working with the human head and body based on another body rhythm named after as Primary Respiratory Mechanism, Breath of Life or Craniosacral Rhythm, and using this rhythm to enhance body functioning and to help alleviate pain and discomfort.
The craniosacral rhythm is the product of the fluctuation of the cerebrospinal fluid within the membranes that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, the articular motility of the 22 bones of the cranium (the skull, face and mouth), the 24 vertebrae, the sacrum (the tailbone), and the resulting wave or tide that radiates through the body and beyond. It is known that this vital rhythm influences the development and performance of the brain, spinal cord and the energetic centers known as chakras, and that an imbalance or restriction in its fluctuation could potentially cause many sensory, motor, neurological, or energetic disabilities. These problems could include chronic pain, eye difficulties, scoliosis, motor-coordination impairments, learning disabilities, mental illnesses and other health challenges.
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle method that encourages your own natural healing mechanisms to dissipate negatives effects of stress on your body. You also benefit from better overall health, resistance to disease, and energetic balance.
