Restore & Balance

How Does Craniosacral Therapy Work?

The brain and spinal cord, which make up the central nervous system, are central to the body’s overall functioning. These vital structures are deeply influenced by the Craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

​

Every day, our bodies experience stresses and strains that require adaptation. However, these changes can sometimes cause tension and distortion within the Craniosacral system. These distortions can lead to restrictions around the brain and spinal cord, obstructing the healthy functioning of the central nervous system and affecting the systems it interacts with.

​

The good news is that these restrictions can be identified and corrected through light touch. Craniosacral therapists use their hands to assess the Craniosacral system, gently feeling different areas of the body to check the ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid. Soft-touch techniques are then used to release any restrictions in the tissues influencing the Craniosacral system.

​

By restoring balance and improving the environment around the brain and spinal cord, Craniosacral Therapy helps the body to self-correct and alleviates a wide range of dysfunctions.

Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy

• CST can be beneficial for treating various conditions, such as:

Once tension is released, especially if it has been held in the body for an extended period, it can feel like a new world opens up. This transformation allows us to live with greater clarity and harmony, free from the limitations imposed by chronic stress or unprocessed trauma.

​

Stress is an inevitable part of modern life, and while our bodies are built to handle a certain amount, chronic stress can overwhelm us, leading to physical and emotional strain. Prolonged stress can cause symptoms that interfere with daily life and, if left untreated, may contribute to serious health issues.

​

CST offers a natural way for the body to rest, recover, and heal. It is uniquely effective in addressing the root causes of symptoms, whether mental, physical, or emotional, helping the body restore balance and overall well-being.
