Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a very gentle, light-touch, practitioners release tensions in the restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. When the central nervous system relaxes it allows other body systems to self-correct.
By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is helpful for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
Practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system. CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and it is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.
