CRANIO DURANGO
Craniosacral Therapy for Sinus Relief
Connect • Heal • Thrive
PRESSURE BEHIND THE FACE
Sinus pressure, congestion, and facial heaviness can make it hard to breathe, think clearly, or sleep well. For many people in Durango, dry mountain air, seasonal allergies, and altitude add to the strain.
The sinuses are air-filled spaces within the bones of the face and skull. When those bones and the tissues around them hold tension, drainage can be restricted and pressure can build.
Craniosacral therapy works gently with the bones of the face and skull to encourage ease and movement. It can help relieve feelings of pressure and congestion, support natural sinus drainage, and ease related headaches and facial tension.
FACIAL BONE RELEASE
Light, precise work with the facial bones, including the maxilla, ethmoid, and sphenoid, to ease restrictions around the sinus passages.
DRAINAGE SUPPORT
Encouraging the natural movement of fluids through the head and face to support healthy sinus drainage.
NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION
Calming the body's stress response to support easier breathing and deeper rest.
What a Session Feels Like
You remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on a treatment table. The touch is very light, about the weight of a nickel, with no forceful adjustments or manipulation. Many clients drop into deep rest; others notice subtle releases, warmth, or a growing sense of ease. Sessions are available in 60, 90 and 120-minute lengths.

Why Cranio Durango
My practice is devoted exclusively to craniosacral work. It isn't an add-on to massage or another kind of bodywork. It's all I do, so you receive my full attention and everything I've learned from focusing on this one practice. Each session is dedicated to listening to your body and supporting your nervous system, guided by what your body is ready for, never rushed and never forced.
Persistent or severe sinus symptoms, or signs of infection, should be checked by a medical provider.
