Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy also called CST, or cranial osteopathy, it is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on technique. Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve health and performance.
Therapists gently work with the body as a whole but focus is on the spine and the skull, and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia.
By using the hands as fine discriminating tools, applying light pressure(about 5 grams). Patients remain clothed during a treatment and treatments generally are one hour long.
How a treatment helps:
• helps restore normal cranial mobility
• releases abnormal myofascial restrictions and tensions
in the body
• releases abnormal restrictions in the head
• eases restrictions of nerves
• optimizes cerebrospinal fluid movement through the
central nervous system
• helps restore misaligned bones to their proper positions
(assisting troubles with back, hips, shoulders, knees)
