You may have heard the term Craniosacral Therapy (also referred to as “CST”) thrown around here and there. But what exactly is it? Well, CST is a gentle, hands-on modality that releases tensions stored deep within the body, while maintaining a light touch. A Craniosacral Practitioner utilizes the craniosacral pulse to assess areas of restriction in the cranium, sacrum, and cerebrospinal fluid. The delicate flow of the fluids is sensed by the practitioner, and they are guided by this rhythm. This results in unwinding of blockages stored in fascia, muscles, and the energy body. This promotes balance in not only the central nervous system, but in all systems of the body such as the endocrine, immune, and respiratory systems. Many conditions that can be helped by CST include; anxiety, concussions, depression, chronic pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, whiplash and more.

Truly, anyone can benefit from CST. It is an incredibly grounding, balancing form of healing work that combines energetic and physical practices. During CST, people often experience a deep sense of relaxation and well-being. It is truly an experience in being “held,” and this often allows the body to release whatever it needs to in order to heal.
