CranioSacral Therapy

What is it?
CranioSacral Therapy works through the craniosacral system to access the body’s self-healing capacities. The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and supports the brain and spinal cord. |
|
 |
Using a very light touch the skilled practitioner monitors body rhythms at key points to locate areas of obstruction, stress, or dysfunction. Then techniques of alignment and adjustment engage the body’s own corrective mechanisms to release what’s “stuck.” Over time a chain reaction of release follows – this gentle and subtle touch produces fundamental changes safely from the inside out.
Additionally, for someone working on body and self through a movement discipline and psychological or spiritual work, CranioSacral Therapy is an excellent adjunct. |
|
|
Gabriel’s sessions often combine CranioSacral Therapy with SomatoEmotional Release® – a dialoguing technique whereby issues, energy, or emotions locked in tissues are accessed and released, Visceral Manipulation—a mechanical release of specific organ restriction, along with Massage and Shiatsu.
|
When elements of a trauma overwhelm our bodies, the tissues may “freeze” to contain and encapsulate the damage. This encapsulated energy can be effectively released thru CranioSacral therapy.

"I'd been to Chiropractors, massage therapists & have taken numerous medications along with MRI's & ERG's due to herniated discs in my neck. I could not hold my head straight with out pain & numbness.
"After my first session with Gabriel, the constant pain and pulling in my left arm had vanished, by the second session I had no numbness in my arm - I was amazed! I wasn't able work out before and now I'm able to continue my work out routine without pain. By our 3rd session I felt like I did before I hurt myself, completely free of pain.
"I can't thank you enough, I was considering surgery which was recommended by all my doctors when I was referred to you. I no longer take medications for pain or need to sit with my head down to relieve the numbness, nor will I have an surgery.
"Again, Thank You Gabriel for all your effort and amazing healing abilities!!"

"I have been seeing Gabriel Bobek for healing modality work for about five years. He is the singularly most skilled and sensitive practitioner in his specialties of body work/cranio-sacral therapy that I have experienced in some 30 years of massage and mind-body therapy."

"I had an injured shoulder--the rotator cuff was two thirds torn. I was given 3 cortisone shots which helped at first but afterwards the discomfort reappeared and it was actually painful for me to move my arm. The fact that I'm a sculptor who chisels stone (alabaster, marble, etc) made the whole situation even more difficult for me.
I was resigned to surgically repair the rotator cuff but decided to try Gabriel
Bobek a cranio sacral therapist, to see if he could help me and he did! Gabriel
gave me two full sessions and indicated how I should use my arm when sculpting
or performing other activities. It's been nearly five months since the cranio
sacral treatments and my arm feels good. In fact I was able to finish a sculpture
and am very grateful to Gabriel. He is very knowledgeable of the cranio sacral
techniques and is very professional in his approach."

We care for our automobiles with regular tune-ups so they function smoothly. Our bodies also function much better when given that same consideration, and CranioSacral Therapy can be a vital part of that care. |
