Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is based on the natural movement and rhythm of cerebral spinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord--from the cranium to the sacrum. The Craniosacral rhythm is a physiological rhythm comparable to the respiratory or cardiac rhythm, but is deeper and more subtle. The therapist monitors this rhythm to assess and release restrictions throughout the body. Releasing restrictions helps all body systems to function optimally. Our bodies have an innate mechanism that strives for homeostasis or balance. CST does not diagnose or treat specific disorders, but provides the body with the potential for rebalancing itself. CST techniques affect every body system, improving whole-body health, and relies on the body's innate wisdom to correct itself. It particularly addresses the membranes surrounding the central nervous system, and resets the autonomic nervous system, which is over-taxed in our stress-filled world.
A CST session is done with the client clothed and comfortably lying on the table. Using a very gentle touch--with pressure no greater than 5 grams--the therapist "listens", allowing the body to make the changes it requires. What you experience during a CST session will be unique to you. Most clients experience complete relaxation, while others describe unwinding sensations as the body releases tension. Memories surrounding a past trauma or injury may surface. Because each individual response to CST is unique, the number of sessions required to resolve any particular condition will vary from person to person.

Please note: There are medical conditions in which CST is not recommended. They include any condition in which slight changes in intracranial pressure would cause instability, such as acute aneurysm, recent skull fracture, recent epidural or spinal tap, and cerebral hemorrhage or other severe bleeding disorder. If you have questions about whether these situations apply to you, seek the advice of your physician before receiving a CST session. It is also advised that you have a medical team in place to support you in the event past traumas resurface.
