Cranial Therapy for Adults & Paediatric Cranial Therapy
Looking for a gentle, calming approach to support relaxation, balance and overall wellbeing?
Our cranial therapy treatments use a light-touch, personalised approach designed to help the body relax and release tension.
Cranial sacral therapy (CST) is sometimes also referred to as craniosacral therapy. It’s a type of bodywork that relieves muscle and joint tightness around the bones of the head, sacrum (a triangular bone in the lower back), and spinal column. (Healthline)
