Craniosacral Therapy (or CST) is a gentle, hands-on form of therapy that works with the natural rhythms and movements of the head, neck, and spine to bring balance to the body. It is used by practitioners to treat physical issues such as headaches, back pain, and chronic fatigue; emotional problems like depression and anxiety; as well as neurologic conditions like autism and ADHD.
CST can also be used for wellness care on its own or in combination with other therapeutic modalities. During a session, practitioners use light touch to monitor your craniosacral rhythm and then apply precise hand placements to identify areas of restriction in the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle.
The practitioner will continue using light pressure until restrictions are released, allowing your body to begin the process of healing. CST can provide relief from pain and tension and can help promote overall wellness. With regular sessions, this form of therapy can help you live a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
