Cranial Release Therapy helps to support the health of the brain and central nervous system.
Cranial Release Therapy is a gentle, safe and effective massage treatment. The advanced techniques used in Cranial Release Therapy assist in restoring correct movement, and alignment of the cranial bones therefore releasing the pressure on the brain that can lead to headaches.
When the bones of the cranium are contracted, pressure is increased on the brain, eyes, ears, teeth, jaw and spinal chord. Reducing this pressure assists in creating space within the sinus cavities relieving pain and dysfunction in the affected areas.
The combination of subtle pressure, and gentle traction also assists in releasing the tension of the protective layer of the brain and spinal chord, allowing for structural and postural changes within the entire body which then allows for optimal function of the central nervous system.
TECHNIQUES MAY INCLUDE:
- Release of the neck muscles
- Myofascial release of the scalp
- Release of the muscles of the jaw
- Mobilisation of the jaw
- Gentle holding and subtle movements of the cranial bones
