What Is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a very subtle method of bodywork
that treats and assesses the craniosacral system. The rhythms of the
cerebrospinal fluid are addressed to balance the functioning of the
central nervous system, optimize brain function and improve overall health.
The Craniosacral System
The craniosacral system consists of membranes and cerebrospinal fluid
that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It extends from
the cranium down to the tailbone area. This vital system influences
the development and performance of the brain and spinal cord. Imbalances
or restrictions in this system can potentially cause a number of sensory,
motor or neurological problems.
Treatment
As your Craniosacral therapist I use light touch to assess and treat restrictions and imbalances
in the craniosacral system. CST often promotes an altered state of
consciousness and deep relaxation that encourages your own natural
healing mechanism to dissipate the negative effects of injury and
stress on the central nervous system.
