craniosacral massage therapy calgary
Our Craniosacral massage Calgary therapy is a gentle form of therapy that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve general health. Using a very gentle touch, our practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system.
The central nervous system controls all that the body does, and is highly influenced by the membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord. This system is known as the craniosacral system. This system can be distorted by other tissues in the body, which then impedes the function of the brain and spinal cord. As the brain and spinal cord are responsible for almost all bodily functions, this can impact overall health. Our craniosacral therapy Calgary aims to gently restore the balance and function of the craniosacral system by releasing any restriction on the tissues influencing this system. This normalizes the environment around the brain, activating the body’s own self-healing abilities.
We are located just South of Calgary, and to many small towns including:
- Foothills
- Diamond Valley
- Millarville
- Black Diamond
- Turney Valley
- Okotokes
- Bragg Creek
- Aldersyde
- and more!

"I have had many massages in my time but my massage with Kathryn was by far the best! She managed to work my tricky muscles into submission whilst also providing me with a truly relaxing experience. The addition of beautiful music from the unique sound therapy bed transported me to an all-encompassing relaxation experience for both body and mind."

"I love starting my weekend with a massage at Pacha Mamma. Kathryn is very personable and professional, and she has done wonders on my neck and back. I used to have pain just rolling out of bed. Thanks to her work, that pain is now gone. She has also shown me some stretches to target specific muscles, which have helped as well. Kathryn was recommended to me by a friend. At first I was put off a bit by the longish drive (I come from just north of Downtown Calgary), but it only takes me about 40 minutes to get there and I've come to really like the trip through the rolling foothills. It's basically my biweekly retreat."

How will massage therapy benefit me?
With professional massage therapy you can experience relief from muscular tension and pain, receive increased range of motion and a reduction of mental stress levels. Massage is a natural healing process that can deliver both physical and emotional benefits. Treatments are specifically tailored to meet your needs.
How often will I need treatments?
Your body can let you know. Some people require only a few sessions to treat a specific problem, while others become regular users of massage therapy as both proactive and preventative healthcare. Massage can help maintain good muscle tone, flexibility, and help correct muscular injuries.
Will I experience muscle soreness following a massage therapy treatment?
Most people report feel very relaxed, and often experience significant relief from aches, pains and stress after a massage session. However some people, especially those who require deep-tissue massage, experience mild muscle soreness which may last a day or two. Once the soreness is gone, they often notice heightened energy levels and an increased range of motion.
