In health there is a harmony between the mind and the body and a relatively free flow of energy through the system. However the accumulation of stress can lead to blockages in the energy flow resulting in a variety of symptoms from a lack of well -being and vitality to emotional problems to chronic tension, headaches, back pain, digestive problems, insomnia etc. Restrictions in the body’s functioning show up in the way that the craniosacral motion is expressed. Craniosacral therapists are trained to feel this subtle motion in the body, and can use it to identify restrictions and help the body release patterns of tension. This then frees the energy that the body was using to hold itself in contraction resulting in greater vitality.
