Basically, craniosacral therapy is a light touch therapy which improves the ability of the body to heal naturally. Over the last decades, it has proved to be effective for treating various physiological problems associated with loss of emotional, systemic, and biomechanical function, as well as pain related issues. Therefore, craniosacral therapy MI is used for both primary treatment and with other complementary therapeutic techniques.

Normally, many people think that this treatment technique is only used for headaches, back pain, and birth and head trauma. While this technique is usually effective for such disorders, it is also effective for a wide range of other disorders. The practitioner often encourage the body of the client to release restrictions which it has not been able to overcome. Actually, the therapist follows the response by the body on how to respond.

Normally, therapists who use this technique believe every person is usually born having an infinite intelligence form also known as vital force energy. This intelligence is the one that help in maintaining the heartbeat, and runs the body. This intelligence which is undetectable and constant is transported to each body cell by your nervous system. The intelligence supplies all necessary information to every cell in order to function according to the plans of each day.

Craniosacral therapist usually refer to this intelligence as innate intelligence. They claim that this intelligence is always with a person and is responsible for healing the body. Therefore, if each body cell is functioning at 100%, then the health of the person will be optimal. Unfortunately, spinal misalignment and structural imbalances may interfere with the way the innate intelligence is transmitted. As a result, it causes imbalance and cell formation is altered which can cause many health diseases and problems.

Usually, the work of the therapist is to assist correct the structural imbalances in the body to allow this innate intelligence to flow where it is needed, restore blocked circulation, and relief nerve impingement. As a result, the therapist help the dysfunctional cell to naturally heal themselves. Usually, this treatment technique does not involve spinal adjustments and manipulations but involves using light-touch therapies to restore structural integrity which is a root cause of most spinal and structural imbalances.

The craniosacral therapists in Michigan usually employ several techniques from various healing modalities to rebalance the innate intelligence. These techniques are such as positional release, myofascial release, and muscle energy technique, acupressure or polarity therapy.

However, there are some conditions where craniosacral treatment may not be used or recommended. Such conditions include conditions where a small increase or slight variation in the intracranial pressure can result in instability. Examples of these conditions are such as cerebral hemorrhage, acute aneurysm, and preexisting bleeding disorders among others. These conditions would be affected by slight change of intracranial pressure.

On the other hand, the number of sessions required for this therapeutic technique usually vary from one person to another. This is because the responses to this treatment also varies from one person to another, as well as with different conditions. Each patient has unique response to this therapy, hence the number of sessions varies widely.
