Sharing this for those of you curious about receiving cranial sacral therapy. It can be a profound step in bringing your body back into balance.
Cranial sacral, or craniosacral, therapy assists in alleviating the following conditions, and more:
- Stress, anxiety, and mood instability
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction experienced as tightness, pain, clicking in the jaw, and misaligned bite (caused by grinding teeth, clenching jaw, stress, or invasive dental work and orthodontics)
- Headaches and migraines, including sinus headaches
- Upper cervicle tightness and pain
- Head tilt
- Eye strain
- Tinnitus – ringing in the ear
- Vertigo
- Dyslexia
- Sleep difficulties and fatigue
- Physical trauma particularly to head or sacrum (sports injuries, falls, broken bones, whiplash etc)
- Emotional trauma

TMJ pain can be caused by tight jaw muscles, leading to a misaligned joint
My clientele have sought out this work to aid in reducing stress, addressing neck pain, jaw/TMJ dysfunction and pain, and assisting in rebalancing the emotional and physical body. People’s experiences of receiving this therapy vary from entering a state of deep relaxation to feeling space opening up along the diaphragm, back of the skull, or even out the big toe. After a session, clients have reported feeling: “more space inside my head and mouth,” “waves of openness,” “less sinus pressure,” and letting go of unnecessary holding.
