Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a light-touch approach that facilitates your body’s natural healing process

What is Craniosacral therapy (CST), and how will you benefit?

CST releases tensions deep in your body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve your whole-body health and performance.
Few body structures have more influence over your health and well-being than your central nervous system. And few body systems have more impact on your central nervous system than the craniosacral system – the soft tissues and fluids that protect your brain and spinal cord.
Every day you endure stresses and strains and your body absorbs them. But your body can only handle so much tension before the tissues begin to tighten and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord. Unfortunately, this can compromise the function of the central nervous system – and the performance of nearly every other system in your body.
Craniosacral Therapy releases tensions to allow the entire body to relax and self-correct. Using a gentle touch – starting with about the weight of a nickel – practitioners evaluate your internal environment. Then they use distinctive light-touch techniques to release any restrictions they find.
By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, Craniosacral therapy naturally eliminates pain and stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your health and well-being.
And because it’s so gentle, Craniosacral therapy can be effective for all ages, from newborns to elders.
SomatoEmotional Release (SER) expands on craniosacral therapy to help relieve your mind and body of the residual effects of trauma.

Why Choose Us

What can you expect from a CST session?

A CST session is similar to massage therapy, except you stay fully clothed.

The Craniosacral therapist uses light touch techniques to gently find restrictions and release tension from the craniosacral tissues surrounding your skull, spine and fascia, to allow your body to completely relax and self-correct.

Somatoemotional release techniques may also be incorporated to address emotional issues related to past trauma. This involves guided conversation to get to the root of what’s negatively impacting your recovery.

You will commonly feel a sense of deep relaxation and peace.
