Spa Alila—Cranial-Sacral Treatment

What to expect from a cranial-sacral experience

You already know that Spa Alila is a place to rejuvenate your body with the healing powers of earth and sea—but it’s a place where the mind and soul can find replenishment as well. And our cranial-sacral treatment addresses all three.

In this gentle stress-relief therapy, which normalizes the flow of fluid in the central nervous system, your skilled practitioner will create gentle pressure and movement—along the spinal column from your scalp to your sacrum (connected to your pelvis).

The result is physically soothing, as it relieves compression, but cranial-sacral treatment also can help you release emotional tension and stress. Many people find that their head and neck move more freely afterward, and some even say it alleviates migraines and headaches, sleep difficulties, and other conditions.

Whether you are seeking relief from a specific issue, or you just want to experience a different level of deep relaxation (it’s not uncommon for one to fall asleep during treatment), consider the cranial-sacral offering at Spa Alila. Your body, mind, and soul all will thank you!
