CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

Craniosacral Therapy ( CST) is a gentle, natural, hands-on therapy that utilizes the body's own innate self-corrective abilities to restore balance and wellness in the soft tissue which affects the nervous system.

Using gentle touch, the therapist works with the soft tissue or fascia that connects and integrates with all other structures of the body.

Using the cranial tide/rhythm and determining the degree of free mobility of fascia, the therapist can identify areas of dysfunction and immobility.

Muscular-skeletal strains are often not observable through conventional medical evaluations until disease begins to appear. The therapist's goal is to enhance craniosacral and fascial motion to free up restrictions in the body, which relieves stress, decreases pain and improves overall health.

A properly functioning fascial system assists the central nervous system in becoming more relaxed, capable and resilient for the individual through life.

As clients discover that there can be relief for their chronic and acute pains, feelings of frustration, discouragement and confusion are often relieved as well.

Since CST enhances overall vitality and encourages the body's own natural abilities to restore health and balance in a gentle way, wide-ranging conditions can often be helped:

-Headaches/Migraines

-Neck and back problems

-Vertigo and tinnitus

-Chronic pain syndrome

-Orthopedic problem

-Chronic sinus infections

-Stress management

-Brain and spinal cord injuries

-TMJ dysfunctions

-Learning disabilities

-Post traumatic stress disorders

-Pre and post surgery

-Healthy baby/healthy mother

WHY CST HELPS BABIES AND CHILDREN?

Since Craniosacral Therapy has a direct impact upon the smooth functioning of the brain and spinal cord, its ability to alleviate restrictions and tensions in these areas can create an environment for motoric, sensory and neurological wellness for babies and children which can have life-long benefits.

Research has shown that womb positioning, the birth process, infections and vaccinations can have a strong impact on soft tissue which affects the central nervous system.

Carried out in the delivery room or within weeks of birth, CST can reduce a wide variety of problems, many of which may not be noticed in conventional medicine until children reach their school years.

School-age children will benefit greatly from craniosacral sessions.
