CranioSacral Therapy (CST)

Based upon the principals of Osteopathic Medicine, CST works on the cranium, spinal column, and the sacrum. CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning 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.

This tissue is connected to all soft tissue though a continuous membrane called fascia. The therapy evaluates dysfunction and distortions in the CranioSacral system and works to harmonize the primary elements of the system.   Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the CranioSacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. Through the release of specific diaphragms located on the body, fascial membranes are affected thereby making adjustments throughout the body.

By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease. It is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:

     •  Migraine Headaches

     •  Chronic Neck and Back Pain
