Craniosacral Therapy

Q: What can I expect during a Craniosacral Therapy session with Jill Collins?

During a CST session, you will lie fully clothed on a massage table, while the practitioner gently places their hands on various parts of your body. They will listen and perceive subtle rhythms and movements, and may apply gentle techniques to facilitate changes. The experience is generally relaxing and soothing, and you may feel deep relaxation, warmth, or gentle pulsations.

Q: How many Craniosacral Therapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions recommended can vary depending on your individual needs and goals. For acute or minor issues, a few sessions might be sufficient. However, for chronic or more complex conditions, a series of sessions may be beneficial.

Q: Is Craniosacral Therapy painful?

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle and non-invasive therapy that should not cause pain. The touch applied is typically light and delicate, (the same pressure used to test ripeness of a tomato) focusing on subtle adjustments and facilitating the body's self-correction.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle and hands-on approach to healing that focuses on the natural rhythms and balance within your body.

By utilising gentle and non-intrusive techniques, it can address restrictions in the sutures between the bones of the skull, the torso and the base of the spine, as well as restrictions in the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding and influencing them.

From Birth to Beyond - Our Life Experiences Shape Our Health

Our journey through life, marked by events such as conception, birth, growth, and various incidents like illnesses or traumas, can hinder our natural healing processes. Craniosacral Therapy (CST) provides a supportive approach to navigate these impacts, promoting restoration and sustained health

Craniosacral Treatments - how does it work?

The main goal of this treatment is to boost the mobility of the Craniosacral system, which may have been influenced and become restricted by any events mentioned above.

This, in turn, has a positive impact on the performance of all the body systems it is closely connected with. By doing so, it provides more room for the cranial nerves, resulting in improved sensory experiences like vision, taste, smell, touch, hearing, and balance.

Another wonderful effect is its ability to bring the autonomic nervous system into balance, leading to reduced stress levels and improved digestion.
