Find deeper healing through CranioSacral Therapy.

CranioSacral Therapy is a hands-on, healing modality that uses gentle touch techniques to release tension in the bones and connective tissue of the craniosacral system. The craniosacral system is comprised of the cranium, spine, and sacrum as well as the brain, spinal cord, and spinal fluid encompassed within. CranioSacral Therapy is rooted in Osteopathic medicine, pioneered by physicians such as Harold Magoun, William G. Sutherland, John E. Upledger, and Hugh Milne. 

 

The focus of CranioSacral Therapy is to promote the movement of cerebrospinal fluid in and around the Central Nervous System (CNS), with the goal of enhancing the body’s innate healing abilities. A well-nourished CNS, having all of its structures balanced, will function optimally. A disruption to the flow of cerebrospinal fluid will cause an unbalance and contribute to pain, illness, and dysfunction. CranioSacral Therapy is performed in a broad range of realms, from physical and mental, to emotional and spiritual. The benefits of your CranioSacral Therapy will go as deeply as you’ll allow it to, improving whole body health and performance.

What to expect during a CranioSacral Therapy session:

CST is a deeply relaxing modality, performed in a quiet, comfortable setting, with the client lying on a treatment table, wearing comfortable loose-fitting clothing. The practitioner may guide the client in breathwork or a brief meditation, to allow full relaxation. The practitioner will then apply gentle touch to bony prominences along the craniosacral bones to feel for disruptions in the craniosacral rhythm or flow. If a disruption is detected, the practitioner will use light touch to open up congestion and re-establish a balanced flow of cerebrospinal fluid. This will improve the function of the CNS as well as many other systems of the body, such as the digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and circulatory systems. When the restriction is released, the client may feel a physical release such as muscular release (light twitching sensation), body unwinding, emotional release, slight changes in body temperature, coughing or heavy breathing.

 

If your belief system allows for a deeper, multidimensional healing, CranioSacral Therapy will connect the scientific musculoskeletal system with the vibrational, energetic nature of the body and spirit. This will allow healing of the body, psyche, and spirit. In addition, it will awaken your light, cleanse your energy, and balance your chakras.
