East Bay Craniosacral, Oakland

Because we live in a fast paced world, we get overwhelmed by the complications that arise as we navigate our day to day life. This takes a huge toll on our well being and greatly skews our nervous system. Not to mention the affect it has on our health. What if you could come up for air just long enough to get some focus, balance, and a deep sense of relaxation; all the while, easing some of the pain you might have been encountering while getting some clarity around it? This is the goal of East Bay Craniosacral and has been since it was established in 2015. Our bodies all have their own innate wisdom and power. By rebalancing the nervous system, we can push the reset button so that the body can reorganize around it's original blueprint of health, thus, utilizing that wisdom and power within it. Craniosacral therapy is particularly supportive for headaches, concussions, TMJ, recovery from surgical procedures, back pain, pain from skeletal/muscular issues, autoimmune disorders, imbalances that affect brain function, and trauma release. However, many people who are in great shape choose to receive it regularly simply because it's relaxing and offers a biological tune up. Furthermore, it's a great resource for somebody wanting a touch lighter than that of a massage therapist or a chiropractor. During a session, the client lies on a table, fully clothed, as the practitioner applies a touch no heavier than five grams of pressure (the weight of a nickel). The client should expect to feel some extreme temperatures (usually warmth) tingling and possibly a floating sensation. The client might even drift in and out of consciousness. It should be noted though that sessions are tailored to fit the needs of each individual client, so everybody has their own experience of this work. In the end, the sessions help to strengthen the mind-body connection to further empower the client.
