Before you start, your therapist will take your case history and ask you questions about the specific ailments which are bothering you. You will then be asked to lie down, fully clothed, with your shoes off. Your therapist will then start giving craniosacral therapy by touching you very lightly on different parts of your body. Most sessions are 45 to 60 minutes long.

Craniosacral therapy is different for everyone. You may feel a deep sense of relaxation, and possibly become aware of heat, tingling, pulsations or other sensations. People often talk of feeling as if they have "had their batteries charged".

Sometimes people feel tingling or numbing sensations or they may experience momentary pain related to past events. When this settles the net result is one of feeling better. People often feel as if things are reorganising inside them or as if a weight has been lifted from their shoulders.

The best way to find out is to try it yourself!
