Craniosacral Therapy
60 min •90 min
Craniosacral Therapy uses light touch to assess where the body is congested or out of balance and to invite the body to heal itself. CST does so by releasing and mobilizing restrictions in the connective tissue surrounding the central nervous system, especially those around the cranium and sacrum.
Because the central nervous system and dura (the connective tissue around the brain and spinal chord) are anatomically and physiologically continuous with the rest of the body, craniosacral therapy is a whole body approach. This, in conjuction with the inseperable connection between structure and function, equip craniosacral therapy with the potential to be therapeutic and preventative to the extent that any condition is structurally based (such as mood imbalances or chronic pain caused by inflammation, etc…).
The Upledger Institute website explains:
By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
Migraine Headaches
Chronic Neck and Back Pain
Motor-Coordination Impairments
Central Nervous System Disorders
Orthopedic Problems
Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries
Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia

Stress and Tension-Related Problems
Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders
Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
Neurovascular or Immune Disorders
