What is 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
