CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is one of the gentlest hands-on therapies, and one of the most effective to enhance health, integrating
body, emotions and mind, so the body’s natural healing process can take place. You will experience total rebalance, re-aligning of
your neck and spine, increased levels of energy and a powerful mind-body connection.
You
will lie fully clothed on a treatment table, and the therapist will use her hands to evaluate what is going on in your body, identifying
congestions, restrictions and areas of pain.
Gentle manipulation along the spine, the cranial bones, connective tissues and fascia
across the body will help to relieve tensions in soft tissues, loosen restrictions and your body will return to an easier, more balanced
way of functioning.
‘Anatomically’ speaking, it is a method of evaluating and enhancing the function of a physiological body
system called the ‘craniosacral system’ - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and
spinal cord, and working on the relationship between the head (cranium) and the lower back (sacrum). This system is one of our core
systems and its imbalances can affect you in many ways.
Benefits
CranioSacral Therapy has proven effective to provide
relief for a number of medical conditions:
Beyond
these benefits, CranioSacral Therapy will help you achieve a better flow of energy, better level of vitality, deep relaxation and
stillness, calming of the nervous system and easing of life's stresses, often providing a greater ease on an emotional or mental level
too.
It is your body that sets the priorities for the treatment, so you
may find that the reason you came for treatment is not what changes first, and often long-standing health issues are brought up and
resolved on a deep level.
Many people come to CranioSacral Therapy without acute symptoms, as it is a very effective preventative
therapy, easing tensions before they make you ill, listening to your body’s needs and helping you achieve your full health potential.
CranioSacral Therapy is so gentle that it is suitable for everyone, particularly women in pregnancy, in acutely painful conditions
or when other therapies may be inappropriate. The unique, non-invasive approach, using a feather light touch to tune into the deepest
levels of the human body, has convinced many people who dislike being touched or found other therapies too painful.
