Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on approach aimed at improving the function of the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch practitioners help to release tension in the body’s connective tissue, known as fascia. CST touch helps to release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.
By facilitating the body’s natural and innate healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and has been shown to be beneficial for people seeking help with a wide range of healthcare challenges and symptoms including:
Alzheimer’s disease
Back Pain
Cancer treatment side effects
Chronic fatigue
Chronic pain
Colic
Complex regional pain syndrome
Dementia
Fibromyalgia
Headaches and migraines
Neuralgia
Post-concussion syndrome/brain injury
Scoliosis
Stroke
Temporomandibular joint syndrome
