Craniosacral Therapy

A gentle, hands-on approach to whole-body regulation

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on treatment that focuses on the nervous system, fascia, and fluid movement within the body. Using light touch, this therapy helps release tension, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural ability to heal and regulate.

It is especially beneficial for addressing restrictions in the head, neck, jaw, and sacrum that can impact overall function, comfort, and development.

What to Expect

Calm, relaxing sessions tailored to each body

At Utah Family Wellness, a craniosacral therapy session is calm and relaxing. Patients remain fully clothed while lying comfortably on a treatment table. The provider uses gentle, sustained touch to assess areas of restriction and support release throughout the body.

Sessions are individualized and may focus on the head, face, jaw, spine, or other areas depending on the patient’s needs.

Infant & pediatric-friendly care

For infants and children, the approach is adapted to be even more gentle and may be done while being held by a parent if needed. We follow your child’s cues, allowing breaks for feeding, soothing, and play.

Frequently asked questions

Curious if craniosacral therapy is right for you or your child? Here are a few common questions families ask before booking.

Is craniosacral therapy safe for newborns?

Yes. Craniosacral therapy uses extremely gentle touch and is commonly used with newborns and infants. Sessions are always led by your baby’s cues and comfort, and can be done while they are held by a parent.

How long is a typical session?

Most craniosacral sessions last between 45–60 minutes, allowing time for evaluation, hands-on treatment, and questions. Infant sessions may be slightly shorter, depending on your child’s needs and tolerance.

How many sessions will we need?

Every body is different. Some families notice meaningful changes after 1–3 sessions, while more complex concerns or recovery from procedures may benefit from a series of visits. Your provider will discuss a personalized plan with you.
