Craniosacral Therapy-About

Craniosacral Therapy, CST, is a gentle hands on technique that is performed by a licensed professional with additional training in CST. This technique focuses on the CranioSacral System in the body (the skull, spine and sacrum), and the fascia and fluid which naturally surround the brain and spinal cord. This system is essentially the command center for the entire body as it is where the nervous system originates. By working to release adhesions and using energetic processes within this system all systems can be impacted. CST uses light pressure to gently improve mobility of the cranial sutures,  invigorate the bones of spine and sacrum, and release adhesions in the fascia and membranes surrounding. 

A CST provider will “listen” to the bodies cues and communication to address the restrictions which are uppermost and may not reveal themselves in the order which we initially expect. Many times trauma, emotional or physical, creates an energetic imbalance within the body, which can then  lead to  a tangled web of compensation and dysfunction. Trauma may not be consciously perceived as severe to create a pocket of imbalanced energy within the cells. By listening to the bodies cues and moving through treatment without expectation, the opportunity to fulfill the true or underlying needs of the body can be realized more effectively.  

CST has been gaining attention as it has been used as a preventative health measure, maintenance tool for wellbeing , to address somatic conditions such as anxiety, and beneficial for a wide range of health challenges and symptoms.
