🧠 Did you know the bones of your skull are designed to move?
Though they may feel solid, the cranial bones have tiny, rhythmic motions that help circulate cerebrospinal fluid and keep your nervous system in balance.
When stress, injury, or chronic tension causes these bones to become restricted (sometimes called cranial “subluxations” or fixations), fluid flow is disrupted and pressure builds on delicate tissues. This often shows up as:
Migraines & headaches → linked to restrictions near the Frontal & Parietal Cortex
TMJ dysfunction → influenced by the Motor Cortex & Brainstem
Anxiety, stress, & sleep disorders → tied to the Limbic System, Brainstem & Reticular Formation
Chronic pain & fibromyalgia → connected with the Somatosensory Cortex & Thalamus
Sensory processing challenges → related to the Parietal & Visual Cortex
Post-concussion symptoms → impacting multiple regions, including the Cerebellum & Pons
With just 5 grams of pressure (the weight of a nickel) craniosacral therapy gently restores motion, releases restrictions, and activates the body’s natural healing processes.
