What is Craniosacral therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy is a non-invasive, gentle therapy which uses the craniosacral system of the body. This system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. The therapy uses the craniosacral system s rhythm to detect and balance restrictions that can cause pain and dysfunction throughout the body. Craniosacral Therapy may be used in conjunction with other therapies or when traditional therapies have proven ineffective. Craniosacral Therapy has been used in a wide range of cases from chronic symptoms to head or neck injuries following an accident. It can also be helpful for stress-related problems and various sensory disorders. The positive effects of CranioSacral Therapy have been scientifically documented.
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle manual (hands-on) therapy focusing on enhancing the function of the craniosacral system. The craniosacral system is the system of the membranes and fluid (cerebrospinal fluid) of the central nervous system. As craniosacral therapists we are trained to evaluate the subtle movements of the system in order to locate specific areas of restrictions or limited movement. Once located, we employ gentle, but very specific techniques to help the system return to optimal function.

CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle method of detection and correction that encourages your own natural healing mechanisms to dissipate negative effects of stress on your central nervous system. CranioSacral Therapy helps alleviate a wide range of illnesses, pain and dysfunction. See our CranioSacral Therapy page for more information.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of enhancing the function of the craniosacral system. The membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord make up this physiological body system. CST is a calming, gentle, subtle bodywork that uses light touch to enhance the body’s natural healing processes and relieve chronic pain patterns and dysfunction. It works with the body instead of forcefully imposing changes upon it. This technique is increasingly used as a preventive health measure because of its ability to bolster resistance to disease and sustain overall good health as well as increase energy, enhance sleep patterns and decrease incidences of sickness. For nearly 30 years, it has been shown to be effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and loss of function. CST is useful both as a primary therapeutic method and in combination with other traditional or complementary techniques. Healthcare practitioners u
