What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive, and holistic approach to healing that acknowledges the inter-connections of mind, body, and spirit. This whole-person approach recognizes how the body reflects experiences and retains the memory of trauma. CST is effective for a wide range of illnesses and can create optimal conditions for health, encouraging vitality and a sense of well-being. It is suitable for people of all ages, including babies, children, and the elderly. By addressing the root causes of discomfort, craniosacral therapy CST helps individuals achieve a balanced state of health and wellness.
How Craniosacral Therapy Works
Craniosacral therapy works by using a very light touch to ease tension in the tissues around the head, spine, and pelvis. The therapist employs delicate manual techniques to identify and release restrictions, adhesions, and tensions held deep within the body. These restrictions can be caused by physical or emotional traumas, which are often stored within our tissues. By releasing these restrictions, the craniosacral system can return to normal functioning, promoting the body’s natural healing processes. This gentle approach helps restore balance and harmony within the central nervous system, supporting overall health and well-being.

What to Expect in a Session
A craniosacral therapy session typically begins with a consultation with a trained therapist. The therapist will ask questions about your health history, concerns, and session goals. You will then lie on a massage table or, if needed, sit in a chair. The therapist will use gentle pressure to evaluate the craniosacral system and locate areas of restriction. Using delicate hand pressure, the therapist will release restrictions in the tissue and relieve symptoms. Deep relaxation is a common sensation during craniosacral therapy. The treatment session usually lasts between 60-90 minutes, and you will remain fully clothed throughout. This calming and restorative experience aims to support your body’s natural healing processes and enhance your overall well-being.
