Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, non-invasive therapy which enhances health and resistance to disease, as well as helping to correct imbalances underlying illness or disfunction.
The craniosacral system includes the cranial bones, spinal column to the sacrum, and the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and nourishes the brain and spinal cord. The client is fully clothed while the practitioner gently assesses the cranial sutures and the craniosacral rhythm for potential restrictions and imbalances. Restrictions on the movement of the cranial sacral system anywhere in the body can cause disfunctions in the brain, the sensory system and the rest of the body. Treatment is done with a light touch to release problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord.
There is a growing body of knowledge of the positive effects of craniosacral therapy on numerous health conditions.
As well as its use in improving health, CST is also demonstrating good results in supportive treatment of learning disabilities, sensory issues, vision, AD/HD and the autism spectrum. In the latter, it is particularly helpful in reducing stress and anxiety.
CST has been helpful for the following:
- Migraines, neck and back pain
- Chronic illness
- Learning disabilities, sensory challenges, motor coordination impairments
- Autism
- Temporomandibular joint disfunction
- stress, anxiety
- neurological trauma
- and many other conditions
