Cranial Balancing

Cranial balancing is a soft touch, restorative therapy using subtle techniques which identify and interact with the cranial rhythm.

This therapy is very effective with health problems that are less well understood, such as chronic pain, lowered vitality, recurring infections, migraine headaches, stress and many types of learning disabilities.

Relatively recent research has disproved the long held belief that upon maturity the cranial bones are fused into a permanent position.

The cranial sutures, located where the cranial bones join, are linked by connective tissue. There is a gentle cranial motion whereby a pulse or rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid can be felt at a normal rate of 8-12 fluctuations per minute.

The cranial bones are lined on the inside by membranes. Restrictions or tension in the body pull the membranes which in turn pull on the bones of the skull, which cause them to move out of alignment. Imagine wearing a long sleeved shirt twisted around the arms and body, it is restricting and uncomfortable; that is the feeling in the body when the membranes are pulled.

There are various causes for these restrictions or tension which can be recent or long standing. For example, the trauma of birth can have a lasting effect as can a recent blow to the head or body.

When the cranial bones are well aligned and free of tension; the cerebral spinal fluid flows freely. This fluid is found in and around the brain and spinal cord. Cranial balancing assists the body to restore the optimum rhythm of the spinal fluid which has a profound influence throughout the whole body.

Cranial balancing is a process whereby specific techniques are used on the head to release tension and energy blocks. As the practitioner assists the client to relax and facilitate a release of tension, the body moves into a state of rest and relaxation. The body’s inherent ability for rejuvenation and restoration becomes most active during this type of deep rest.
