What Is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral therapy, or CST, is a gentle hands-on treatment for the whole body. It uses a very light touch to ease tension in the tissues around the head, spine, and pelvis. Essentially, it aims to help your body unwind and restore its natural balance.
Think of it like this: if your body is a tense, tangled mess of yarn, CST helps to gently untangle those knots and smooth things out. This can improve your body's ability to heal itself and relieve pain, stress, and other issues.

What To Expect In The Treatment
Your therapist will use a hands-on approach that will allow them to detect disruptions in the rhythm and help them recognize areas of dysfunction, such as cranial, sutural, membrane and other soft tissue restrictions in the body.
A CST session is all about relaxation and gentle touch. Here's what you can expect:
Comfortable setting: The room will be quiet and private, with a massage table for you to lie on.
Light touch: The therapist will use very light pressure on your head, spine, and pelvis to feel for tension and imbalances.
Relaxation: Many people find CST very relaxing and even fall asleep during the session.
Body sensations: You might feel some tingling, warmth, or other changes in your body as the therapist works.
No pain: CST shouldn't be painful, but you might feel some mild discomfort as your body responds to the treatment.
It's important to remember that everyone experiences CST differently. Some people feel the benefits right away, while others take a few sessions.
Craniosacral Therapy is so gentle that it is suitable for babies, children, the elderly, and adults, as well as for fragile or acutely painful conditions.
How Craniosacral Therapy Can Help You?
Craniosacral therapy has become a technique that offers a positive treatment for those wishing to improve mobility and reduce pain within the body. Areas known to have benefited from this form of therapy include:

Stress reduction: CST's gentle touch can promote relaxation and ease anxiety.

Craniosacral therapy is also effective in treating the following:
Sinus problems and ear infections: Some people find relief from chronic sinus issues and frequent ear infections in children.
Digestive issues: CST may help with constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and other digestive problems.
TMJ (Temporomandibular joint dysfunction): This jaw pain condition can be eased with CST by addressing tension in the head and jaw.
Infants and children: CST can be used to address colic, reflux, and even developmental delays in some cases.
Pregnancy and childbirth: CST may help with back pain, headaches, and even positioning the baby for birth.
