Healthful Women's Wellness Clinic

Residents of Glenelg, South Australia, who want to release patterns of tension that affect their various body systems can seek Craniosacral Therapy at the Healthful Women's Wellness Clinic.

As a gentle, non-invasive approach to health, Craniosacral Therapy looks for and treats limitations in the body's craniosacral systems.

All bodily systems, including the musculoskeletal, endocrine, cardio-respiratory, gastrointestinal, lymphatic, immunological and reproductive systems, can become tense as a result of restrictions in the craniosacral system.

You can regain a freely moving brain, spinal cord and fascial web when the craniosacral system is unrestricted and the cerebrospinal fluid is flowing optimally. This improves your body's capacity to heal and balance itself.

How can Craniosacral Therapy help you?

The human body has an internal fascia network that protects and connects all of the body's structures. When issues arise, any irregularities or misalignments in the fascia can cause a disruption, resulting in pain and limited movement and function.

Our goal is to work gently with your body while understanding the challenges it faces on a daily basis so that you can feel more like yourself again.

What can you expect from an appointment?

When you show up for your appointment, your practitioner will greet you and invite you for a short chat. You will then be asked to lie face up on a massage table. Wear light, comfortable clothing to your appointment because you will be fully clothed during the treatment.

The practitioner will then gently place their hands on you, usually beginning at your head, feet, or near the centre of your body. They will apply light pressure to specific points on your head, torso, pelvis, knees and feet. This light contact is made up of gentle finger pressure with no bone manipulation or thrusts. Allow yourself to feel completely relaxed.

Remember, this is your time to connect with your body and yourself. It's a time for deep relaxation as well as the release of holding patterns and realignment of the nervous system.

How many sessions of Craniosacral Therapy will I need?

The number of sessions required will be determined by your specific health needs. When you discuss your goals with your therapist, you can draw up a plan based on your symptoms, injuries, and the root causes of your symptoms.
