Craniosacral Therapy

If you’re dealing with headaches, stress, jaw tension, chronic pain, digestive issues or even post-concussion symptoms, Craniosacral Therapy in Downtown (Queen St West), Leslieville (Queen St East) or Kingsway (Etobicoke) might be exactly what your body needs.

It’s a gentle, hands-on technique that works with your nervous system — the master control center of your entire body. By releasing deep, stored tension in the fascia and central nervous system, this therapy helps reset your baseline.

These techniques can promote deep relaxation, regulate the nervous system, and create space for physical and emotional release.

Craniosacral Therapy is a great option when your body feels “stuck” in stress mode or when traditional approaches haven’t provided full relief.

Frequently Asked Questions About Craniosacral Therapy

Is this a full-body technique?
Yes, Craniosacral Therapy is a full-body approach. However, most of the focus is on the sacrum (base of the spine) and the bones of the skull.

Do you ever work below the sacrum?
Yes. While much of the session focuses on the head and sacrum, gentle assessment and touch may also include the legs and feet.

Do clients need to undress for the session?
No. Craniosacral Therapy is performed with the client fully clothed. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing.

Is lotion or oil used during the session?
No. This technique does not involve any lotion or oils.

Is the entire session hands-on?
Yes. The session involves gentle, hands-on techniques throughout.

Is this service covered by health insurance?
Yes! Coverage depends on the practitioner you book with. The session will be billed under their regulated health profession—for example, Registered Massage Therapy—so it may be covered under your extended health benefits.
