Craniosacral Therapy

WHAT IS CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY?

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a hands-on therapy, where the touch is gentle, non-invasive and usually subtle. Specific gentle pressure is applied where necessary, to enable the inherent healing ability of the body to effect the release of stresses.

Patients find CranioSacral Therapy effective for a wide range of problems associated with discomfort, pain and dysfunction. Remarkably, this approach also appears to complement and stimulate the body's natural healing processes.

The style of Craniosacral Therapy I am trained in also involves working with the fascia (connective tissue, which surrounds and envelops every structure in the body) Fascial unwinding is an extremely valuable therapeutic process through which physical and emotional blocks, whatever their cause, can be released. Whether they are the result of physical injury, infection, disease or emotional factors, all traumas and tensions leave their mark on the body and are held into the body tissues in the form of restriction or constriction of some kind.

CST is thought to relieve compression in the head, neck, and back. This can soothe pain and release both emotional and physical stress and tension. It’s also thought to help restore cranial mobility and ease or release restrictions of the head, neck, and nerves.
It’s thought that through the gentle manipulation of the bones in the skull, spine, and pelvis, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the central nervous system can be normalized. This removes “blockages” from the normal flow, which enhances the body’s ability to heal.

Depending on what you’re using CST to treat, you may benefit from between 3 and 10 sessions, or you may benefit from maintenance sessions. Your healthcare provider will help you determine what’s right for you.
There’s plenty of anecdotal evidence that CST is an effective treatment, but more research is needed to scientifically determine this. There’s evidence that it can relieve stress and tension, also forms of stress & anxiety.
