About Emily Kniffin

Emily has been nationally certified in therapeutic massage and bodywork since 2003. Emily has been certified in integrative craniosacral therapy since 2013. Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on therapy that helps by finding and releasing tension in the nervous system. Each body has self-healing and self-balancing mechanisms, but one’s ability to maintain healthy physiological function can be impaired by experiences of physical, emotional, and chemical stress. CST can help by clearing any restrictions or tension in the nervous system, freeing one’s body to balance and heal itself. Craniosacral Therapy was developed by osteopathic physicians and includes skillful palpation of the craniosacral rhythm as a means of assessing restrictions in the nervous system, including the articulations of the cranial bones and spinal vertebrae. Through specific and non-invasive hands-on techniques, Craniosacral Therapy has been found to help many different conditions including headaches, back pain, TMJ disorders, whiplash, emotional difficulty, and traumatic brain injury. Emily has helped people of all ages, from newborns to our great elders, with Craniosacral Therapy. The gentle yet powerful methods of sensitive palpation and allowing for the natural release of tensions in the body lend themselves to being extraordinarily helpful in nearly any circumstance. Emily has been a teaching assistant for The New England Center for Craniosacral Therapy and offers introduction to CST workshops.
