Learn about how sacral massage is done, its benefits, and more.

Sacral massage, also known as craniosacral therapy, is an alternative treatment aimed at relieving tension in the spinal cord and head. This massage technique focuses on the bones of the head and spine, using light pressure to improve the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid and realign the central nervous system. Sacral massage is non-invasive, requiring no tools or implements entering the body, and uses gentle fingertip pressure around 5 grams, the weight of a small coin. Sessions are conducted in a fully relaxed environment with soothing music and dim lights. The duration and number of sessions vary based on individual needs. Sacral massage has been reported to relieve various conditions, including biological rhythm disorders, scalp muscle tension, and emotional health issues. However, due to limited scientific evidence, its specific benefits are not widely validated.
