What is CranioSacral Therapy?
​
CranioSacral Therapy is an gentle hands-on, whole body therapy that offers the opportunity to create physical, structural and emotional changes from within.
CranioSacral Therapy was developed by John Upledger, DO, an osteopathic physician and clinical researcher at Michigan State University.
Our CranioSacral System is comprised of the tissues and cerebrospinal fluid that support and protect the brain and spinal cord. This system runs from the base of the spine to the head, and has its own motion based upon the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid. As a result of this connection, CranioSacral therapy has a direct impact on the health and well-being of our central nervous system.
​
The goal in a CST session is to evaluate the flow of this fluid, determine the tension patterns within the whole system,
and faciliate the release within the biological fabric of the body.
Life stresses and strains are processed through our bodies; When the load held becomes overwhelming, we develop symptoms.
CST helps your body to release the held somatic tensions, and allows for the deep connection with the part of us that knows what is needed to heal.
The result is reduced pain and stress, enhanced function, motion, and improved health and well-being.
