CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and the spinal cord that extends from the cranium down to the sacrum (tailbone).  A treatment is similar to a massage except you stay fully clothes, therefore, comfortable clothing is recommended.

 

This technique is known to release tensions in the body, thereby, improving the functioning of the central nervous system and many other systems of the body.  It is an excellent technique used in the treatment of various conditions such as migraine, headache, and stress related dysfunctions.  It is particularly beneficial to people suffering from tension-related problems which as we know is a common growing complaint in our modern world, and even more since the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

During a session people experience different sensations.  It may include:

• Deep feeling of relaxation

• Falling asleep

• Sensing pulsation

• Having hot and cold sensations

 

Note that unlike a massage, you remain clothed for the treatment.  Therefore, comfortable clothing is recommended.
