Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle yet deeply powerful hands-on healing approach that helps release long-held physical and emotional tension within the body. Through light, non-invasive touch, this therapy supports the body's natural ability to self-heal — offering relief, restoration, and a renewed sense of balance.

Radiant Health offers Craniosacral Therapy in Aljezur, Portugal, for adults, children, and babies, drawing on years of advanced training and clinical experience.

What Is Craniosacral Therapy?

Throughout life, the body stores the imprints of injury, trauma, stress, lifestyle patterns, and emotional experiences. These stored patterns held in the tissues, fascia, and nervous system can eventually lead to dysfunction, pain, and chronic health issues.

Craniosacral Therapy works by gently engaging with these areas of restriction, especially in the fascia, which is intricately connected to every system in the body. By facilitating the flow of cerebrospinal fluid around the spine and skull, this therapy helps to restore harmony to the central nervous system, easing physical discomfort while calming the mind.

Sessions are profoundly relaxing and soothing, often described as "resetting" the system from the inside out.

For Babies & Children

What to Expect During Treatment

The Session

During a Craniosacral Therapy session, clients remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on a treatment table. Using gentle, intuitive touch, no more than the weight of a coin, the practitioner works with the craniosacral system to release deep tension, restore natural rhythm, and support the nervous system's return to balance.

The Experience

Many people describe the treatment as profoundly calming. You may feel warmth, gentle waves of sensation, or a subtle sense of letting go. Some drift into sleep; others remain quietly aware as their body softens and begins to unwind from within.

After Treatment

Following a session, clients often feel lighter, more grounded, and reconnected. Shifts may be immediate or unfold gradually over the days to come, as the body continues to process, integrate, and return to a more balanced state of health and well-being.
