What cranial sacral therapy at Branford River Spa actually involves

Cranial sacral therapy is the lightest work on our massage menu. Your therapist rests their hands at the base of the skull, along the spine and at the sacrum, using no more pressure than the weight of a coin, and follows what the tissue does rather than forcing it.

Guests book it for tension headaches, jaw and TMJ tightness, and that wired-but-exhausted state where a deep massage feels like too much. Sessions are done fully clothed, which also makes it the easiest treatment to say yes to if you are new to bodywork.

Booking from Old Lyme: what to expect

You stay clothed on a warmed table in a quiet, dim room. Long still holds at the head, neck and sacrum, very little talking, and a slow finish — many guests drift off. Give yourself an unhurried hour afterwards if you can.
