Welcome
Restoring health and well-being through Craniosacral Therapy
Vales, Aljezur
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, complementary bodywork technique based on Osteopathic principles. It is able to provide a space for the body to heal. Using a light touch it aims to reduce restrictions in the craniosacral system to relieve pain, reduce stress and improve central nervous function-
CST works with the subtle rhythms of the body and can benefit
-
Headaches and Migraines
-
Neck and back pain
-
Stress and anxiety
-
Sleep issues
-
Recovery after injury
It improves the body's ability to self-care, and can lead to positive and profound changes.
A session is usually performed with the client fully clothed on their back in the serenity of the Therapy Room in Vales.
We visit the Sacrum and lower spine, open the hip region, Cranial base release aswell as releasing intracranial structures and plates. Returning the body to its natural craniosacral rhythm. Connective tissue, or Fascia, is a continuous sheeth and it controls the condition of muscle groups. The Fascia is approached gently, with loving intention to release muscle groups, having a profound effect on relaxing the body and thus the mind, releasing the spirit.
Gentle adjustments are made to release tension, allowing for a return to the point of fullest potential.
The still point of deep relaxation, the source point of all possibility.

How Acupuncture can help
Acupuncture can help to treat specific symptoms or give relief for specific pain syndromes, like osteoarthritis of the knee, TMJ, headaches, lower back pain, or for more common health problems like an overactive bladder. A lot of people use acupuncture because they feel generally unwell without a clear diagnosis. And many choose to receive regular acupuncture as it is so beneficial and relaxing.
