Understanding CranioSacral Therapy: A Gentle Approach to Healing

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on technique focused on the dura mater, the thick connective tissue lining the skull and spinal column. Think of it as a protective sac containing the cerebrospinal fluid that cushions and supports your brain and spinal cord. In essence, the craniosacral system is the core of your central nervous system.

How CranioSacral Therapy Works

CST addresses tension within this vital system, which can lead to both physical and cognitive dysfunction. This tension creates strain on the brain and spinal nerves, often stemming from:

  • Physical injury

  • Concussion

  • Traumatic birth experiences (for both mother and child)

  • Emotional stress

  • PTSD

CranioSacral Therapy is particularly effective because it directly addresses the central nervous system and the core structural support system of the spine and skull. By releasing restrictions in the craniosacral system, the body's natural healing mechanisms can be enhanced, leading to improved overall health and well-being.

Integrating this body system into your treatments can help;

  • Physical injury

  • Concussion

  • Birth trauma

  • Emotional Stress

  • PTSD

  • Migraines, Headaches

  • Learning differences, ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia

  • TMJ and Dental Concerns

  • Sleep Challenges
