What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therpay (CST) is a light touch approach in bodywork that invites profound change and improvement into your life. It releases deep tensions to relieve pain and dysfunction while improving whole body health and performance. A seasoned therapist begins by gentle listening to different areas of the body in order to monitor the craniosacral fluid’s rhythm that is flowing around the Central Nervous System.  It is possible to get a sense of where the flow is strong, weak or out of balance.  As she follows the listening, she can move toward the source of the dysfunction and help to rebalance the problem areas.  The therapist is also trained to gather information within the fascia, a connective tissues that wraps around the body and interconnects as a web throughout the body. By using both hands to re-educate the memory of tissues, the body starts to remember a more healthy and relaxed state of being.

What are the benefits of Craniosacral Therapy?

First and foremost, Craniosacral Therapy balances the nervous system.  For people who hyped up and have a difficult time relaxing,  they will generally notice a deep letting go of tension and stress.  On the other side of the coin, people who are tired and find themselves with low energy often feel more vital and sharp. By bringing the body back into balance, it resets itself to operate more efficiently. Because the Central Nervous System is engaged with the rest of the body, CST is helpful in other areas as well.  some of the conditions that CST address are:

  • ADD/ADHS
  • Scoliosis
  • Central Nervous System Disorders
  • Infant and Childhood Disorders
  • Chronic Neck and Back Pain
  • Migraine and Headaches
  • Stress and Tension Related Disosrders
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • TMJ
  • PTSD
  • Orthopedic Problems
  • Learning Disabilities
  • Fibromyalgia
