Because the cerebral spinal fluid is created and re-absorbed, it allows for a dynamic rhythm which radiates through out the body. Cranio-sacral therapy uses very gentle touch and subtle manipulation to encourage the body to rebalance and heal itself. The Cranio-Sacral system consists of the bones of the cranium, spine, and sacrum and the cerebral spinal fluid which surrounds the brain and spinal column.

This may take the form of physical movements, emotional releases, deep relaxation, and tissue 'unwinding'. Through cranio-sacral therapy the body can begin the spontaneous process of making corrections and readjustments. Cranio-Sacral therapy can help improve the functioning of the body's organs, musculoskeletal, nervous and immune systems as well as benefiting psychological health. Cranio-Sacral Therapy Cranio-Sacral Therapy is often referred to as 'the breath of life', this is because it can affect every cell of the body. More commonly treated problems include arthritis, asthma, back pain and injuries, depression, digestive problems, premenstrual syndrome, sciatica, sports injuries and stress-related illnesses. Rather than working on bones and muscles, the practitioner focuses on the connective tissue and the cerebrospinal fluids, treatment supports the body to make necessary changes.

The rate and quality of this rhythm gives distinct information about the health and functioning of the entire body.
