Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

Service Description

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on treatment that provides relief from a variety of symptoms including headaches, neck pain and side effects of cancer treatment among many others. CST uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of fluids in and around the central nervous system. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity. The focus of CST is a gentle placement of hands to assist release of the body’s connective tissue, or “fascia.” Fascia (Latin word for “band”) is a covering found throughout the body including organs, glands, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, brain and spinal cord. This covering forms a body-wide connective network. CST is based on the idea that the body is interrelated at all levels. CST is improves efficiency of biological processes through boosting inherent self-regulation, self-correction and self-healing. The therapy can be used successfully with children and adults and is often combined with other forms of energy therapy and intuitive work such as Reiki and mediumship Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy Helps with migraines and headaches Eases constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) Helps with insomnia Helps with sinus infections and neck pain and stiffness Helps ease pain of fibromyalgia Aids in trauma recovery, including trauma from whiplash Helps with mood disorders like anxiety or depression What is Craniosacral therapy used for?

How does it feel? You’ll typically remain fully clothed during the treatment, so wear comfortable clothing to your appointment. Your session will last about an hour, and you’ll likely begin by lying down on your back on the massage table. The practitioner may begin at your head, feet, or near the middle of your body. Using five grams of pressure (which is about the weight of a nickel), the provider will gently hold your feet, head, or sacrum to listen to their subtle rhythms. If they detect it’s needed, they may gently press or reposition you to normalize the flow of the cerebrospinal fluids. They may use tissue-release methods while supporting a limb.
