What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system. The system includes membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch (generally no greater than 5 grams) or about a nickel’s weight, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the central nervous system’s functioning.
By complementing the body’s natural healing processes, CST is used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease and is useful for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
- ADD and ADHD
- Anxiety and depression
- Autism
- Cerebral palsy
- Digestive dysfunction
- Lumbar and sciatic pain
- Migraines and headaches
- Pregnancy, postpartum and breastfeeding issues
- Sleep challenges
- TMJ and jaw tension
- Tinnitus
- Vertigo
