CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy

As defined by the Upledger Institute “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 soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners 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 disorder, depression anxiety.”

CranioSacral can help with:

• Headaches and migraines
• Chronic pain in the neck and back
• TMJ syndrome
• Orthopedic problems
• Stress and tension-related disorders
• Fibromyalgia
• Chronic Fatigue
• Concussions
• And many other conditions

The client will lay on the massage table fully clothed. The therapist will use a light touch on the head and body to help calm the nervous system and allow the tension in the body to relax. Sessions are one hour.
