What conditions does craniosacral therapy help?
Commonly used for headaches, TMJ, chronic pain, stress, and trauma. Benefits vary by individual.
How many sessions are needed?
Some people feel shifts after one session. Chronic conditions typically benefit from a series of treatments.
Can children receive craniosacral therapy?
Yes, it's often used with infants and children for birth trauma, colic, and developmental issues.
Is this the same as cranial osteopathy?
