Why is craniosacral therapy so important?
Craniosacral therapy is a light-touch approach that can create dramatic improvements in your life. It releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance.
Few body structures have more influence over your health and well-being than your central nervous system. and few body systems have more impact on your central nervous system than the craniosacral system - the soft tissues and fluid that protect your brain and spinal cord.
Every day you endure stresses and strains and your body absorbs them, but your body can only handle so much tension before the tissues begin to tighten and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord.
Unfortunately, this can compromise the function of the central nervous system - and the performance of nearly every other system in your body.
Craniosacral therapy releases those tensions to allow the entire body to relax and self-correct. Using gentle touch - starting with about the weight of a 20 pence coin - practitioners evaluate your internal environment. Then they use distinctive light-touch techniques to release any restrictions they may find, because it's so gentle, craniosacral therapy can be effective for all ages, from newborns to the elderly.
What conditions does CST address?
Craniosacral therapy improves your body's ability to take better care of you. It helps relieve a full spectrum of pain, illness and dysfunction, including:
- Migraines and headaches
- Chronic neck and back pain
- Stress and tension-related disorders
- And many other conditions
What can I expect from a session?
A typical Craniosacral Therapy session takes place in a quiet, private setting. You remain fully clothed, as you relax on a comfortable padded table.
Your therapist begins by gently touching various parts of your body to monitor the rhythm of the fluid that is flowing around your central nervous system.
By carefully listeming with the hands to locate areas of weak fluid flow or tissue motion, your practitioner 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.
A Craniosacral Therapy session can last up to an hour or more. It can be used alone or integrated with other therapies to create powerful effects.
What you experience from your own sessions is highly individual. The sessions are generally deeply relaxing, creating feelings of warmth or gentle pulsing in the areas the therapist is working on.
