About Me
What is CranioSacral Therapy (CST)? CST is the Healing Power of a Gentle Touch where the therapist acts as a facilitator to help you process the language of your own body.What does CST do? CST frees the central nervous system to perform at its best, CST naturally eliminates pain and stress, strengthens your resistance to disease and enhances your health and well - being.
Consider our bodies as a DVD: our bodies retain memory of significant stress that occurs throughout our lives, this manifests itself in any number of conditions and usually relates to a 'weak link'. CST helps to 'erase and rewrite' the DVD.
CST can help with: Migraines and Headaches, Chronic Neck and Back Pain, Stress and Tension-Related Disorders, Motor-Coordination Impairments, Infant and Childhood Disorders, Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, TMJD Syndrome, Scoliosis, Central Nervous System Disorders, Learning Disabilities, ADD/ADHD, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Orthopedic Problems, And Many Other Conditions
What does a typical session involve? Setting is quiet and private. You remain fully clothed as you lie on a comfortable padded table. The therapist begins by placing their hands on various parts of your body from your feet to your head to monitor the rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid that is flowing around your central nervous system. By carefully listening with the hands to locate areas of weak fluid flow or tissue motion, the therapist can trace those areas of weakness through the body to the original source of dysfunction. Delicate manual techniques are then used to release those problem areas and improve the form and function of your central nervous system. The sessions are one to one and one half hours in length. What you experience from your own session in highly individual. The sessions are generally deeply relaxing, creating feelings of warmth or gentle pulsing in the areas the therapist is working on.
