CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle but powerful method of healing. Your session will be clothed and involve gentle touch, traction, and energy work to facilitate the release of tissues, allowing the body to reorganize, self-correct, and heal. Not just work done on the head, your session will alleviate pain and restriction throughout the body.
Your craniosacral system is a deep, protective layer of your body, and houses the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord as well as the membranous structures that protect your brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system.
When the body has to deal with stress or trauma, it has to compensate, creating tension and restriction throughout the body, as well as the tissues that form around the brain and spine. This change can cause your central nervous system, as well as other body systems, to not perform as optimally as they could or should. Using gentle touch and by working with the flow and rhythm of this system we are able to evoke a deep relaxation response and re-teach the body how to break old physical and mental stress habits.
