Craniosacral Therapy in Highams Park

Craniosacral therapy is a very gentle, hands on approach using light touch, mainly around the head, spine and base of the spine. You stay fully clothed, and most people find it deeply relaxing.

At Avenue3 Wellness, craniosacral therapy is offered by Arlene Dunkley-Wood, a wellness practitioner and therapist with over three decades’ experience in holistic health. Arlene offers sessions for adults and for babies, alongside therapeutic massage, Mizan therapy and pregnancy and postnatal massage.

Who it may suit

Craniosacral therapy may suit you if you are looking for a very gentle, non manipulative treatment and time to rest. Because the touch is so light, many people who find firmer bodywork uncomfortable choose it. Arlene also sees babies, and parents are welcome to ask her about this before booking.

What to expect

Arlene will start by asking about your health and what you would like from the session. You then lie down, fully clothed, while she uses very light touch, mainly around the head, spine and base of the spine. Many people find sessions quiet and restful, and some drift off.

Questions

Does it hurt? No. The touch is very light, and you can ask Arlene to stop or adjust at any time.

Do I need to undress? No. Craniosacral therapy is received fully clothed.

Is craniosacral therapy a medical treatment? No. It is a complementary therapy and not a substitute for medical care. Please keep seeing your GP or health visitor about any health concerns, for yourself or your baby.
