Cranial Sacral Therapy

What is Cranial Sacral Therapy?

Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the craniosacral system – a physiological system comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a light touch, generally no more than the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

How can CST help you?

Because the craniosacral system impacts the entire body, CST can be effective for a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Migraines and Headaches

  • Chronic Neck and Back Pain

  • Stress and Tension-Related Disorders

  • Motor-Coordination Impairments

  • Immune Disorders

  • Post-Concussion Symptoms

  • Chronic Fatigue

  • Fibromyalgia

  • TMJ Syndrome

  • Scoliosis

  • Central Nervous System Disorders

  • Learning Differences, ADD, ADHD

  • Alzheimer’s

  • PTSD

  • Orthopedic Problems

  • Anxiety

  • Drug resistant mental health conditions

  • And Many Other Conditions

What to Expect During a Session

A CST session is typically conducted in a quiet, private setting. You remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on a massage table. Your therapist will gently place their hands on various parts of your body, such as your head, feet, or sacrum, to monitor the rhythm of your cerebrospinal fluid and identify areas of restriction.

The touch is extremely light, and many people experience a deep sense of relaxation and peace during the session. Some may feel subtle sensations like warmth, tingling, or pulsations. Each session is unique, tailored to your body's specific needs.
