Craniosacral Therapy vs. Traditional Massage Therapies: What’s the Difference?

Posted in: Ula's Blog | December 17, 2015

craniosacral-therapy-vs-traditional-massage-therapies-whats-the-difference

It’s been a long week, or a long month, or maybe it’s been a long year. Either way, you know you need to find a way to relieve your pent up stress. Whether your work life is piling on the pressure or your home life has become exhausting and overwhelming, you know that the stress is taking a toll on your body. Contrary to what many people think, stress is not just an issue of the mind. Tension and anxiety in your brain directly affect your body’s ability to function at its highest level.

So where do you turn to find that sweet relief? Massage therapy is an excellent way to take a load off of your mind and body alike. If that sounds like your kind of therapy, the next question you might be asking is, which kind is right for you? Craniosacral therapy at Manhattan’s Stillpoint Holistic Studios is a type of massage therapy that targets an extremely important part of your body: the craniosacral system. This system is in charge of keeping your brain and your body functioning harmoniously in the right ways; working to improve it can promote your body’s ability to heal itself!

Ula Katsoulis is a Craniosacral Therapist in Manhattan who has been practicing since 1994. She is a licensed therapist in both New York and Pennsylvania and knows just how to bring your body back to its natural, healthy state.

A Craniosacral Therapist in Manhattan With Experience

Ula wants her clients to know that her craniosacral therapy at Manhattan’s Stillpoint Holistic Studios is the best kind of massage therapy, and why it’s the right choice to maximize your body’s healing potential. First of all, let’s talk about a few types of massage therapies out there:

– Relaxation massage therapy
– Rehabilitation massage therapy
– Craniosacral massage therapy

Each of these massage therapies focus on manipulating the muscles and tissues in your body to enhance your well-being, but craniosacral therapy sets itself apart. Using gentle pressure and light touch, your Manhattan craniosacral therapist will focus on massaging the spine and head to make sure your cerebrospinal fluid is flowing properly through your central nervous system. Unlike regular massage therapy, craniosacral therapy can help you in the following ways:

– Your body–rather than the practitioner–will be the healer.
– Pains and aches will go away, and you will see a reduction in stress.
– Since your body learns how to heal itself, your results will be longer lasting.
