Why is CranioSacral Therapy si Important?
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) 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 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 or nearly every other system in your body.
CranioSacral Therapy releases those tensions to allow the entire body to relax and self-correct. Using a gentle touch- starting with about the weight of a nickel – practitioners evaluate your internal environment. Then they use distinctive light touch techniques to release any restrictions they find.
By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, CranioSacral Therapy naturally eliminates pain and stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your health and well-being. And because it is so gentle, CranioSacral Therapy can be effective for all ages , from newborn to elders.

What can I expect from a sessions?
Atypical CranioSacral Therapy sessions 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 listening whit 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 functions of your central nervous system.
A CranioSacral Therapy session can last up to an hour or more. It can be used alone or integrated eith other therapies to create powerful effects.
What your experience from your own session is highly individual .The sessions are generally deeply relaxing, creating feelings of warmth or gentle pulsing in the areas the therapist is working on.
“Many people have a belief that life is difficult, and healing is painful. CranioSacral Therapy helps them let go of that belief. A healing process can be much more gentle and subtle.”
