CRANIAL Dr. Elaine Stocker describes cranial-sacral therapy as "...making a good home for the central nervous system in the head and spine by helping the body to rebalance itself and heal." Through gentle noninvasive manipulation, cranial-sacral work alters the rhythm and flow of cerebrospinal fluid to keep it from stagnating and causing countless health problems. Its rhythm and flow is like the pulse and blood "a moving tide of life that provides the whole body with essential nutrition and information. Just as the body knows how to heal a cut, when the cranial system is fully balanced, it is self-healing." Cranial-sacral treatment has been practiced for more than one hundred years.
