CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY (CST)

WHAT IS CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY?
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on treatment that uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of fluids in and around the central nervous system. This eliminates pain and boosts healing and immunity by relieving tension in the central nervous system.
The focus of CST is a gentle placement of hands to assist release of the body’s connective tissue, or “fascia.” Fascia (Latin word for “band”) is a covering found throughout the body including organs, glands, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, brain and spinal cord. This covering forms a body-wide connective network. CST is based on the idea that the body is interrelated at all levels.
CST is thought to improve efficiency of biological processes through boosting inherent self-regulation, self-correction and self-healing. The therapy can be used successfully with children and adults.
