CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method used to evaluate and improve the function of the crainosacral system, which is the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
With a light touch, restriction can be released which helps improve the function of the central nervous system and often the digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and circulatory systems. I am a certified practitioner through the Upledger Institute and attend classes and continuing education every year to improve my skills and practice. I also am a teaching assistant through Upledger for the CST level 1 class.
CST also helps regulate the Vagus Nerve (cranial nerve X), which regulates our central nervous system between “fight or flight” and “rest and digest” responses, helping a person feel more regulated and calm.
During craniosacral therapy, clients wear comfortable, loose clothing and are positioned on a table in a comfortable position for the session.
CST is used to help facilitate the body's natural and innate healing processes and is often indicated for:
Headache
Anxiety
Chronic neck and back pain
Autism
Central Nervous System disorders
Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries
Chronic Fatigue
Musculoskeletal dysfunction
Stress and tension
Fibromyalgia and other connective tissue disorders
