Craniosacral Therapy & Visceral Manipulation

Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation are gentle, hands-on treatments that help restore balance to the body's systems. These therapies work by releasing restrictions in the soft tissues and activating the body's natural healing processes. Dr. Lollar offers both as part of her mobile medical offerings, serving Encinitas and North County San Diego.

About Craniosacral & Visceral Manipulation

  • Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation are known for their ability to alleviate a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, digestive issues, and stress-related disorders. By gently manipulating tissues and organs, these therapies help to release tension, improve circulation, and support the body's natural healing processes. Patients often report enhanced relaxation, reduced pain, and improved overall well-being.

  • Craniosacral therapy works by targeting the craniosacral system, which consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Gentle manipulation of this system helps to release restrictions, improve fluid circulation, and enhance the functioning of the central nervous system. It works on a subtle yet profound level, helping the body to self-correct and heal.

  • Visceral Manipulation focuses on the internal organs (viscera) such as the liver, intestines, and stomach. By applying gentle pressure and specific movements to these organs, we can release adhesions, restore normal motion, and improve the function of the organs and their surrounding structures. This therapy is based on the understanding that the health of internal organs is closely connected to the musculoskeletal system. By enhancing the mobility and function of the organs, Visceral Manipulation can improve digestion, alleviate chronic pain, and support overall health.

  • Dr. Lollar will apply light pressure, primarily around the head, neck, and spine, as well as on the abdomen where the visceral organs are located. This pressure is designed to release tension and improve the flow of fluids within the body. While craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation are distinct from traditional massage, patients often find the experience similarly calming and restorative. The environment is calm and soothing, designed to help you unwind and feel at ease as you receive care in the comfort of your own home.
