CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on
approach that helps to release tensions deep in the body. It also helps to relieve pain and
dysfunction improving whole-body health and performance. CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its
ability to bolster resistance to disease, and it's effective for a wide
range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.
How does CranioSacral Therapy Work?
Few structures have as much influence over the body’s ability to function properly as the brain and spinal cord that make up the central nervous system. The central nervous system is heavily influenced by the craniosacral system, the membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord.
Every day the body endures stresses and strains that it must work to compensate for. Unfortunately, these changes often cause body tissues to tighten and distort the CranioSacral system. These distortions can then cause tension to form around the brain and spinal cord resulting in restrictions. This can create a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system, and potentially every other system it interacts with.
Fortunately, such restrictions can be detected and corrected using simple methods of touch. With a light touch, the CST practitioner use their hands to evaluate the CranioSacral system by gently feeling various locations of the body to test for the ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid pulsing around the brain and spinal cord. Soft-touch techniques are then used to release restrictions in any tissues influencing the craniosacral system.
By normalizing the environment around the brain and spinal cord and enhancing the body’s ability to self-correct, CranioSacral Therapy is able to alleviate a wide variety of dysfunctions, from chronic pain to sports injuries, stroke, anxiety or neurological impairment.

What can I expect from a CranioSacral Therapy Session?
A CranioSacral Therapy session lasts from 60 minutes to 90min. As a client you remain fully clothed as you relax on a comfortable massage table. The practitioner will stand or sit positioned at various points of your head, torso or feet. At times they may also support your limbs and spine while helping your body release accumulated tension.
Every persons experience during a CST session is different. Some people say they feel deeply relaxed, while others describe feeling unwinding sensations as the body releases tension. There are also few cases where individuals may recall circumstances surrounding a past trauma or injury that caused the body stress. While it doesn’t occur to often, this aspect of the process is called SomatoEmotional Release and is perfectly normal as it helps the body reverse dysfunction and restore optimal levels of healing from within.
Because each individual response to CST is unique, the number of sessions needed to resolve any particular condition varies widely. While one session may give you the relief you need, your situation may require more therapy before it’s completely alleviated. You are the one in control of your emotional and physical state so you will know when you need to repeat a session.
