Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy uses a light-touch to release restrictions found in the nervous system, helping to bring balance to one’s emotional, mental, and physical health. Craniosacral therapy uses educated, precise, noninvasive touch that supports your body’s innate ability to heal. Developed from osteopathy, it can help to release tension held in the cranium, spine, and sacral areas to relieve such conditions as headaches, migraines, low back pain, sciatica, neck pain, TMJ (jaw tension), and more. It can also be effective with such elusive and chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.

CST also works well with mental/emotional issues. We have a remarkable ability to store what we can’t deal with in the moment, and then to work around what we’ve stored. Compensation is a useful and effective strategy, as long as we have the resources to manage it. Our bodies work around these held experiences until the load becomes too great; that’s when we develop symptoms, when our bodies are no longer able or willing to maintain our compensations. These symptoms can include feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed, as well as more physical issues like chronic pain.

Babies & Craniosacral Therapy

CST is particularly helpful for treating newborns and infants who are having difficulty nursing, which can be a result of tensions and restrictions in the baby’s head, spine or body. These restrictions can be caused by pressures experienced during late pregnancy, and by the forces of birth.

Studies on how chronic migraine patients experience headache episodes show that there is a cranial sacral (Craniosacral) aspect to the pain they feel. The Craniosacral system is composed of the membranes and fluid that engulf the spinal cord as well as the brain. Craniosacral therapy is a set of massage and light-touch techniques that aim to establish a healthy rhythm in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid from the lowest lumbar vertebrae to the brain.
