Cranio sacral therapy in Torquay
Surfcoast Massage’s experienced therapist offers cranio sacral therapy in Torquay. Also known as cranial sacral therapy, it is a holistic treatment that deals with the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels, working with the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
The focus of cranial sacral therapy is the cranio sacral system that consists of cranial bones, membranes and cerebrospinal fluid from the cranium (head) to the sacrum (the tailbone area). This cranio sacral system has a rhythm that that can be felt throughout the body. Your cranio sacral therapist tunes into the body and uses this rhythm to locate the areas of restrictions or congestion.
Benefits of cranio sacral therapy
Cranio sacral therapy uses gentle, hands-on techniques and may offer benefits including:
- Promoting deep relaxation
- Helping reduce feelings of physical tension
- Supporting a sense of calm and wellbeing
- Providing a gentle option for people who prefer lighter-touch bodywork
- Encouraging greater body awareness
- Supporting relaxation when the body feels tense or overstimulated
- Complementing other massage and bodywork treatments
In a cranio sacral therapy session, you remain fully clothed and lie or sit on a treatment table. Starting at your feet and working upwards, the therapist will place her hands lightly on your body to tune into what is happening in your body. As contact is light, many patients actually fall asleep during treatments.

Cranio sacral therapy can be used to treat a broad range of conditions such as persistent pain, digestive problems, anxiety, visual problems, insomnia, women’s health issues including problems during pregnancy and infertility, infant and baby health problems such as sleeping difficulties in babies, colic, reflux and behavioural disorders.
