Would you benefit from clearer thoughts, less tension, clearer sinuses or more overall energy? Maybe you would like to take care of a problem such as headaches, migraines, exhaustion, jaw pain, neck pain or low back pain. Whether you want to enhance your wellbeing or take care of a health problem, Craniosacral Therapy can probably help.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a very gentle hands- on technique used to correct imbalances in the body, specifically the cranium and pelvis. Light touch, no more than a few grams of pressure, is used to detect and balance the rhythm and flow of cerebrospinal fluid which bathes the brain and spinal cord.

The cerebrospinal fluid moves at a very specific rhythm influenced by the breath and the heart. This rhythm is associated with a subtle expansion and contraction of the bones in the skull and the pelvis. Injuries to the head, spine or pelvis can disrupt this rhythm and result in dysfunction and disease.

A CST practitioner will feel for your rhythm by gently touching your body and then using gentle rocking or light pressure to restore balance.

A CST session takes place in a quiet environment. The client lies fully clothed on a massage table while the practitioner works at the head, torso or feet during evaluation and treatment. The practitioner’s hands are laid on the client to assess and apply correction to the craniosacral rhythm.

Experiences during a CST session are personal and unique to each person. Some clients report feeling heat, cold or tingling while others just feel very relaxed. It is common for clients to remember situations and injuries during a session. Emotions can arise as clients become aware of motions and sensations within their bodies.

Craniosacral Therapy releases restrictions in the cranium and pelvis, enhancing the craniosacral rhythm. Cerebrospinal fluid flow is normalized within the cranium and the spine giving the body greater access to its natural healing abilities.
