CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on technique that helps bring balance to the body. Using a touch no heavier than a nickel, a trained therapist listens to the subtle rhythms of your craniosacral system — the membranes and fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord — and releases restrictions that interfere with your central nervous system. Sessions are deeply relaxing, fully clothed, and appropriate for all ages. CST is really helpful in alleviating the symptoms of things like headaches & migraines, neck, back & jaw (TMJ) pain, concussions, stress and anxiety. A typical session is 60-min in length.
CST works to release deeply held tension in the fascial system of the body. The CST session will include an evaluation of the fascial system, as well as the rhythm of the system as a whole. The therapist will assess and treat any areas of tension found by gently holding certain spots on the body to release tension.
CranioSacral Therapy can help to alleviate the symptoms of:
Sessions are 30, 60, or 90-min long. The best plan of action is to book a 60-minute session and discuss a treatment plan with your provider after the first session. Generally, clients feel relief within the first few sessions and benefit from a maintenance schedule thereafter.
The client remains fully clothed for the session, laying face up on the table. The CranioSacral Therapist will gently place their hands on areas of your body, assessing the system. The therapist will work with the lines of fascia, the bones of the sacrum, spine, and skull, using a gentle touch, no heavier than the weight of a nickel. The client can expect to feel deeply relaxed during the session.
