WHAT IS CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY IN COLORADO?

When you go to a massage therapist, you may see a couple of terms that you haven't heard before: lymph drainage therapy and craniosacral therapy in Colorado. What are these therapies, and why would you get them?

​

Craniosacral therapy in Colorado can be considered a form of massage, but it has a lighter touch than most other methods. It is also focused on some of the bones in the head, while regular massage is concentrated on the muscles in the rest of the body. Like other lesser-known alternative therapies, it is controversial in some circles. However, patients have reported good results.

​

As with most other types of massage, you can look forward to relaxation from craniosacral therapy. In many cases, this is all that's needed to release pain-inducing tension. Its developers say that it also helps to normalize the synovial fluid around the spinal cord and brain, thereby restoring proper function to other parts of the body.

​

Lymph drainage therapy started out as a treatment for lymphedema, which is swelling caused by the unnatural accumulation of lymphatic fluids. However, it has spread to regular people due to benefits like improved clearance of toxins and cellular debris, improved skin appearance, reductions in allergies, headache relief, and more.

​

This treatment does not involve deep pressure. Instead, gliding and cupping motions are applied by the therapist to help get lymph moving and guide trapped particles into the lymphatic system. Then, the lymph nodes can filter out the debris. Ideally, the body will then be detoxified and will function better overall.

​

Another reason people get lymph drainage therapy is the fact that it involves a light touch. This makes it perfect for those who want the benefits of massage but can't handle the usual pressures involved.
