I had regular severe migraines for the past 5 years on a monthly basis. After the first session with James they became less intense, and by the 3rd session they stopped – I have not had any migraines for what would now be over 3 months! I am really impressed & glad to have a natural relief.

I have always had neck issues, it’s where I hold tension and stress. Before I went to see James, it was getting to an unbearable point.. ..It has been a month and a half since my last session, and I can happily say my neck is pain free! I can exercise without causing havoc to my neck area, and sleep without my shoulder or neck pain waking me up.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy is a soft tissue treatment that works to release trauma & contraction patterns in the body – often the cause of pain.
The practitioner uses very light contact to work with the craniosacral system – the inherent tissue movements of the body. Places of contact are often the feet, head and sacrum (tailbone), but the therapist will work where it is most appropriate to address your issue.
A typical treatment is usually around 40 minutes.
James Stichbury – Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist
“I suffered back pain & recurring headaches in my early 20’s and looked for relief from a number of different therapies, including Chiropractory, Osteopathy, Cranial-osteopathy, Physiotherapy and not to mention visits to the GP. Unfortunately I found these only gave me short term results, and I was reliant on continual visits. I stumbled upon Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy one day when I couldn’t get my usual booking with another therapist and could feel deep stretching in the core of my body.
I found relief from my back pain after each session, and finally noticed long term improvement. However, whilst receiving the treatments I also noticed an immediate effect on my headaches. I continued the sessions and was amazed at the results. “
