What is craniosacral therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is an extremely gentle, non-invasive, and effective treatment that works directly with your body’s natural capacity to self-correct and restore balance.
Evolving from osteopathy, the treatment focuses primarily on the body’s connective tissue network (called fascia) and the craniosacral system, including all interconnected organs and vessels. By using very light touch, CST helps your body reset, restore, and renew. This allows deep healing to take place across the mind-body connection, relieving musculoskeletal tightness, neurological deficits, autoimmune issues, and pain.
How Does It Work?
Your body naturally holds onto life experiences, physical knocks, and emotional stresses, causing your tissues to contract. Given the opportunity, the body will release this stress naturally. However, when that natural release is blocked, the overall load becomes too great, and symptoms begin to arise both physically and emotionally.
During a session, I use very gentle pressure on specific points—including light touches to your skull, face, and spine—to remove blockages in the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid. This restores cranial mobility, releases restrictions, and boosts your body’s innate self-healing power.
How Can It Help Me?
When stress and tension accumulate, people often experience a lowered immune response, making them susceptible to everyday bugs. Older symptoms can resurface, and new issues can appear. CST is highly beneficial for relieving compression in the neck, head, and back, while deeply reducing overall mental and physical anxiety.
Common Conditions Treated with CST:
Chronic Pain: Headaches, migraines, neck pain, back pain, and Fibromyalgia.
Mental Wellbeing: Anxiety disorders, depression, stress, and panic attacks.
Sleep & Nervous System: Insomnia, disturbed sleep cycles, Tinnitus, Autism, and ADHD.
Digestive & Respiratory: Asthma, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
What to Expect & Next Steps
Your Treatment Plan: Depending on your unique goals, you may need between 3 to 10 sessions to achieve the ultimate benefit. Many clients also choose to continue with ongoing sessions for regular maintenance and prevention.
