Integrative Craniosacral Therapy (ICS)
A gentle, assessment based manual therapy supporting regulation, mobility, and recovery through the body’s central axis.
Skull | Spine | Pelvis
ICS works with the relationship between the body’s central structures and its peripheral systems, with the aim of supporting physiological balance, functional recovery, and a greater sense of ease in the body.
What is ICS?
ICS, Integrative Craniosacral Therapy, developed by Oren Dotan, D.O., is a structured, assessment based manual therapy that works through the body’s central axis: skull, spine, and pelvis.
The method is based on the understanding that when the body’s central organization is supported, the system can regulate more efficiently and recover with greater adaptability.
Personalized Care
Each individual has different causes, and often hidden causes, behind their pain, complaints, or physical conditions.
ICS is focused on accurate assessment and diagnosis, looking beyond the surface symptom in order to understand the deeper patterns that may be contributing to imbalance or discomfort.
Rather than applying the same treatment to every person, the work is tailored to the unique organization of each body and to the specific factors influencing its current condition.
Physical Relief
By identifying and addressing the underlying patterns within the body, ICS aims to support real physical relief rather than temporary symptom management alone.
Treatment may help reduce tension, improve mobility, support nervous system regulation, and create better conditions for recovery and functional balance.
The goal is to help the body move toward greater ease, adaptability, and resilience.
