CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger. This gentle hands-on technique focuses on balancing the rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid and releasing tensions within the central nervous system. Using a soft touch, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body.
CST is effective in treating various conditions, including migraines, headaches, chronic pain, stress-related disorders, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The craniosacral system consists of membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding and protecting the brain and spinal cord. This system plays a vital role in maintaining the health and functionality of the central nervous system. Imbalances or restrictions within this system can cause a range of physical and emotional ailments. Therapists use gentle pressure and subtle movements to restore optimal flow and balance to the cerebrospinal fluid and the surrounding tissues. This process encourages the body's self-correction mechanisms, promoting relaxation, pain relief, and improved overall well-being.
One remarkable aspect of CST is its ability to address physical and emotional imbalances. Releasing physical restrictions often leads to a sense of deep relaxation, allowing emotional tension and trauma to be released. Clients frequently report feelings of calmness, clarity, and enhanced vitality after a session.
