CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is great for those who do not like a lot of pressure but need deep work to introduce changes within their body. Clients with migraines headache, TMJ dysfunction, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain often benefit from CranioSacral Therapy.
A 2015 German study has shown CST to be especially effective and safe in reducing neck pain intensity and possibly improving functional disability and quality of life for up to 3 months after intervention. The study concludes that particularly for chronic and recurrent neck pain, CST may be a worthwhile treatment option when combined with standard medical care.
CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle modality that uses very light manual palpation techniques to release fascial restrictions between the cranium and the sacrum. As part of the central nervous system, the craniosacral system – the soft tissues and fluid that protects your brain and spinal cord – have a great influence over your health and well-being. CranioSacral therapy releases the tensions from everyday stresses and strains on your body allowing the entire body to relax and self-correct.

CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a distinctive, hands-on approach that uses a light touch – no greater than about the weight of a nickel – to treat the craniosacral system surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Stress and tension deep within the body cause tissues to tighten around the brain and the spinal cord, which in turn negatively compromises the central nervous system. Since this system controls all other body systems, the result is pain and bodily dysfunction.
Gentle CST treatment is safe and effective for all ages, from newborn to elderly. By allowing the body to relax and resume the natural healing process, CST improves whole body health and performance.
CST can provide relief for:
- Central Nervous System Disorders
- Migraines and Headaches
- Infant and Childhood Disorders
- Chronic Fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- Balance Disorders
- Endocrine Disorders
- Orthopedic Problems
- Stress and Tension Related Disorders
- Chronic Neck and Back Pain
- Many Other Conditions
A typical CranioSacral Therapy session lasts an hour or more, depending on each client needs. You remain fully clothed (please wear loose, comfortable clothing) as you relax on a comfortable, padded massage table. Using delicate manual techniques, your practitioner will locate and treat problem areas while standing at various points of your head, torso, or feet. Results following the session will be uniquely individual and a number of sessions may be required to resolve a specific condition. Some clients experience a sense of energy and vigor and an increase in function; others feel deeply relaxed and a decrease in pain immediately following the session. It is also not uncommon for improvements to continue to develop gradually over the next few days and weeks.
