“CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. It was pioneered and developed in the mid-1970s, by Osteopathic Physician John E. Upledger after years of clinical testing and research at Michigan State University where he served as professor of bio-mechanics.
The central nervous system is heavily influenced by the craniosacral system which is made of the membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord. A CST practitioner is looking for areas of the body that feel protected/ defensive.”(Upledger Institute)
CranioSacral Therapy is NOT massage. It also is NOT a one time treatment. The treatment techniques build each session to help the body equalize and return to a balanced state.
In sessions lasting 30 – 70 minutes, clients and therapists work closely together. CranioSacral Therapy is performed with clients fully clothed, while using a light touch. The practitioner feels the rhythms of the CranioSacral system for possible restrictions and imbalances and works to release them. The therapist waits and listens. CranioSacral Therapy is very effective and some of our clients describe it as “magic” and “amazing” because they can’t believe how much relief they get with treatment.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) can create dramatic improvements in life. It helps to release tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve the whole-body health and performance.
