CranioSacral Therapy

  • CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of using the rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid to evaluate and release restrictions deep in the body to help reduce pain, relieve dysfunction, and improve whole-body health and performance.
  • Using a soft touch which is generally no greater than 5 grams – about the weight of a nickel – restrictions are released in the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord, the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system and in the fascia.
