Craniosacral Therapy Treatment
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle form of bodywork that helps to release tension held deep within the nervous system so that the rest of your body can relax and start to heal from the inside out.
Craniosacral therapy treatment focuses on the light, gentle placement of hands to help release tension in your body’s connective tissue, known as fascia. The human body is interconnected, both structurally and functionally. This means that one area of your body can affect another.
During a session, you will be clothed and lie on a massage table. Your therapist may go to your feet, your head, your sacrum, your joints or to any area of your body that needs to be worked with, using the contact that feels best for you.
During a session you may:
Relax deeply and fall asleep
Enter a quiet meditation-like state
Feel as if you’re dreaming while awake
Experience memories or insights
Enjoy a pleasant sense of warmth, softening, widening or floating
Experience other kinds of sensations as energy that has been held in the body is released
At Restore with Awareness, we offer sessions dedicated to Craniosacral Therapy, as well as integrate Craniosacral Therapy with Therapeutic Massage, Functional Integration, and trauma-informed Somatic Experiencing sessions.

““I’ve lived with chronic tension on the right side of my jaw, neck, and shoulder, and more recently, developed tinnitus in my right ear. Yoga and massage help, but the results are short-lived.
After several sessons with Susan, the muscles underneath my chin and along the front of my neck felt more supple and longer. My jaw, neck, and shoulder move with much more ease now, and I’ve noticed that the ringing in my ear is subsiding. It’s amazing to learn that relief is possible simply by focusing my attention on my sensations and comfort, and now my body moves more effortlessly.””
