3. What is cranial therapy?

Cranial therapy uses gentle manipulations of the skull and spine to improve fluid flow, reduce tension, and promote balance.

To ease discomfort, stay well-hydrated, rest, use heat patches, or take a warm bath. Gentle stretching can also help.

13. Can my child be treated?

14. I've been told that without going through pain, my muscle tension won't release but I don't like pain, can you still treat me?

Absolutely! There are many types of treatments. Some opt for the more aggresive approach others are not into that. We work with the patient. You will not be told that you need to put up with something that makes you uncomfortable. The therapist will discuss options with you and develop a plan you are willing and agreeable to.
