Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is an effective form of treatment for a wide range of illnesses. The goal of the treatment is to help resolve the underlying trapped forces that govern the pattern of disease and the fragmentation between mind and body. This is achieved by reducing tension and stress in the meningeal membrane and its facial connections. Craniosacral is a safe and creative way to treat headaches, TMJ pain, ear infections, strokes, physical tension, chronic pain, muscle tightness and muscle spasms. CST greatly relies on the body’s inherent ability to heal itself.
The body’s craniosacral system is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. By delicately manipulating the bones of the face, head, vertebra and membranes beneath the skull, cerebrospinal fluid is allowed to move more freely. This allows for the body’s energy fields to be rebalanced.
A typical CST session runs about one hour. Clients are fully clothed, and laying down on a massage table. The therapist lightly places hands on the clients body ‘with thinking fingers’. Clients often report a deep sense of relaxation during this therapy.
