Craniosacral therapy, is however, not a specific treatment for a medical condition but a general method for improving the health and resilience of the human body. In my own experience, I have observed the shape of some of my patients' faces change from slightly lopsided to symmetrical. I have also had excellent results with severe headaches that did not respond to conventional chiropractic adjustments. In many cases craniosacral therapy can uncover and correct the underlying causes of subluxations and many related non-specific disorders and complaints.
Most patients experience a profound sense of relaxation and peace.
Most fall asleep or go into an altered space at some point during the session. Some patients may experience a Somatoemotional Release if it is the agreed intent of both the physician and patient. That is, while it is a physical technique, it is also a direct way of releasing the emotional energy and associations with past injuries whether physical or emotional. In other words, craniosacral technique embraces the use of the mind as a direct mode of healing. Despite this somewhat esoteric sounding description, all aspects of the diagnosis and treatment procedure can be felt as physical phenomenon.
