Secral Lifts : Cranial Sacral Massage Therapy Techniques

On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Jean Hurley from Siegels Day Spa in Cottonwood, Arizona and we are talking about cranial-sacral release therapy. Another movement that we use quite often which I call the sacral lift and you simply lift the client with your sheet, roll them and slip your hands under the sacral bone and lift with your elbows. You are not lifting the client very high off the table but this is in a difficult hold for the therapist because you are supporting the weight of the client; waiting for that J-hook movement of the cranial-sacral fluid itself. When you feel it, you kind of follow the J so your hands in the lift and a slight glide with the J, so just a lift and a glide and it helps to stimulate the cranial sacral fluid from the sacrum bone to the cranium. It is great for backaches, spinal injuries, pressure. This hold can again go on for 10 minutes even longer so you need to be seated and it is a hold that once you start feeling, you don’t really let go of until you have visualized the release in the client.
