Cranio-Sacral Therapy and Golf

Golf may look like a leisurely, non-strenuous way to pass the time, and for the most part, it is. However, many muscles and joints are used that may become prone to injury or strain over time. Common injuries include elbow tendinitis, rotator cuff or shoulder pain, knee pain and injuries to the wrists.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a gentle bodywork therapy that is used to treat a wide range of physical and emotional issues. The name comes from cranio - referring to the cranium or the skull, and sacral - referring to the sacrum bone at the base of the spine. The craniosacral system consists of the structures of the central nervous system (CNS) —the brain, the spinal cord, as well as the membranes and fluids that surround and protect these structures. Within these structures is found a clear fluid known as cerebrospinal fluid which supplies nutrients to the CNS and flows from the cranium to the sacrum. Here are a few ways in which Cranio-Sacral Therapy may support you no matter where you are on the road to becoming the next LPGA or PGA champion.
