Craniosacral Therapy What to Expect
What should I expect at my first visit?
During a Craniosacral Therapy session, you can expect a calm and relaxing environment. Sessions last from 60 to 90 minutes, during which you remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on a treatment table. Scott begins by gently placing his hands on the necessary parts of your body, often starting with the head, feet, neck, and spine, to assess the craniosacral rhythm and identify areas of tension or imbalance. Using a subtle 5 grams of pressure, Scott then works to release these restrictions and restore harmony to the craniosacral system. You may experience sensations of warmth, or deep relaxation as the therapy progresses. Throughout the session, communication between you and your therapist allows you to express any sensations or emotions that arise and ensure that the treatment is tailored to your individual comfort level. After the session, you may feel deeply relaxed, and sleepy or rejuvenated, with a heightened sense of well-being.
How many sessions are usually needed to see results?
The number of sessions needed to see results from Craniosacral Therapy can vary depending on several factors, including your health condition, severity of symptoms, and response to treatment. While some people may experience significant improvement after just one session, others may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired outcomes.
In general, Craniosacral Therapy is often offered as a series of sessions rather than a one-time treatment. This approach allows for cumulative benefits over time as the body responds to the therapy and undergoes gradual changes.
Some individuals may find relief after just a few sessions, while long-term or more complex conditions, such as chronic pain, migraines, or emotional trauma, may require a more extended course of treatment, typically ranging from several weeks to several months.
Scott will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs, goals, and response to treatment. He may recommend an initial series of sessions followed by periodic maintenance sessions to maintain the benefits and support ongoing wellness.
