CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
What is Craniosacral Therapy? CST is a gentle bodywork technique of detection and correction that encourages the body’s own natural healing mechanisms to dissipate the negative effects of stress on the central nervous system.
What is the Craniosacral System? Like the pulse of the cardiovascular system the craniosacral system has a rhythm that can be felt throughout the body. It consists of the membranes and the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord. It extends from the bones of the skull, face and mouth, which make up the cranium, down to the sacrum, or tailbone area.
How is CST performed? The client remains fully clothed during the session. Using a touch no heavier than the weight of a nickel, a skilled practitioner can monitor this rhythm at key body points to pinpoint the source of an obstruction or imbalance.
What does CST feel like? At times, you may deeply relax or even fall asleep; at other times you may talk a great deal or experience some emotions. You may feel rested or rejuvenated afterwards.
Who can benefit from CST? Those who want to benefit from better overall health and resistance to disease. It can help to alleviate a range of illnesses, pain and dysfunction, including:
>Migraines and Headaches
