What to Expect During Your Craniosacral Therapy Appointment
If you’re experiencing neck or back pain, migraines, headaches, depression, or other spinal-related issues, Craniosacral Therapy may be the right treatment for you.
At our West Edmonton clinic, your appointment begins with a short assessment that may include range-of-motion testing. Your therapist will review your health history and discuss the concerns you’d like to address. Depending on your comfort level and the treatment plan, you may or may not be asked to partially undress and lie under linens on the table.
Craniosacral Therapy is a very gentle, hands-on treatment. Using light touch—about the pressure of a pencil—your therapist will carefully work with the bones of your head, spine, and sacrum. This minimal pressure helps restore the body’s natural alignment, reduce stress, and relieve pain. Your treatment plan is always individualized, based on your needs and your therapist’s assessment.
Open communication is encouraged throughout the session. Sharing how you feel allows your therapist to adjust techniques for your comfort and to better target the root of your concern.
After your appointment, you may feel deeply relaxed and refreshed. Drinking plenty of water is recommended to support recovery. Your therapist may also suggest stretches, self-care techniques, or remedial exercises to enhance results between sessions. In some cases, a follow-up appointment will be recommended to help you stay on track with your wellness goals.
Helpful Tips Before Your Craniosacral Therapy Appointment
To get the most from your Craniosacral Therapy session at our West Edmonton clinic, keep these simple tips in mind:
Arrive a little early – Plan to be a few minutes early so you have time to complete any forms and settle in before your appointment.
Eat light beforehand – Avoid heavy meals, which can make it harder to relax. A light snack or meal an hour or two before your session is best.
Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water before and after treatment. Hydration supports your body’s natural recovery process and may reduce post-treatment soreness.
Dress comfortably – Depending on your treatment plan, you may or may not need to partially undress. Loose, comfortable, or athletic-style clothing is recommended. Your therapist will guide you on what’s best.
Communicate with your therapist – Share how you’re feeling during your session. Open feedback allows your therapist to adjust techniques and ensure your comfort throughout.
Take it easy afterward – Give your body time to rest following your appointment. Avoid strenuous exercise or intense physical activity immediately after treatment.
Follow aftercare advice – Your therapist may recommend stretches, self-care techniques, or gentle exercises to support your recovery. Following these suggestions helps you get the greatest long-term benefit.
