Modality Sunday! Craniosacral Therapy Craniosacral Therapy practitioners use tiny movements with their hands to assess and adjust restrictions in the fascial t...issues. The goal is to alter these restrictions and alter the optimal flow (pulses) of the cerebrospinal fluid. Practitioners remove blockages of cerebrospinal fluid that can have numerous energetic and physiological effects, particularly to the ideal functioning of the nervous system. Craniosacral Therapy practitioners believe that they can correct this flow to address these conditions.

The Government of New Brunswick announced NB's Recovery Plan in late April, which includes NHPC members in its Orange level and Yellow level. Find the plan here...: https://bit.ly/2yDMqhf Non-emergency health services, which included regulated professions like massage therapy, returned to work earlier this month as part of the Orange level. NHPC members in that group should be following the guidance of their regulatory body. Most other NHPC practices fall into the Yellow level categories of Non-regulated health professionals/businesses, which returned to work May 22, or yoga studios, which return to work May 29. To prevent the spread further spread of COVID-19, please ensure you follow the provincial guidelines when practising. If your profession is unregulated, you can refer to our Return-to-work Protocols as a supplement to any government guidelines.
