Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a highly effective light-touch therapy that works with the source of pain and dysfunction and the whole body simultaneously.
For most of life, our bodies do great jobs of finding ways to work around the stresses and strains caused by our life experiences like chronic stress, childhood falls, or illnesses. When the body does get stuck, we have the gentle powers of craniosacral therapy (CST).
Unlike many body therapies, with CST, we don't look to fix your body, but instead use our skilled hands to discern what's happening in your tissues, to understand how and why your body is behaving as it does, and then work to support the healthy impulses already at work.
The most common cases that benefit from sessions are:
+Chronic back and neck pain
+Headaches and migraines
+TMJ dysfunction, jaw and dental pain
+Stress and tension-related problems
+Pregnancy and childbirth
+Newborns and infants
+Post surgical recovery
+Autism
Suitable for people of all ages.
Particularly beneficial for people with chronic fatigue conditions as it works gently to build up health and vitality and enables deep rest and recovery.
Many people feel some immediate relief from symptoms, including muscle and joint pain or anxiety. After a few sessions, people can soon notice differences in their sleep patterns and ability to rest deeply and allow health to build.
