Craniosacral Therapy
A gentle way of working deep into the core of your body, mind, and spirit.
With light touch and compassionate intention, craniosacral therapy (CST) works with your body’s central nervous system to help you relax, unwind, and heal.
Your craniosacral system is composed of the fluids, membranes, and bones that surround and protect your brain and spinal cord. Often, these structures can get out of alignment, become stuck, or get blocked. This can result in symptoms like headaches, pain, depression, anxiety, and fatigue.
Think of your craniosacral system like the engine of a car. In that engine, fresh oil is necessary to help these parts move effectively, efficiently, and with protection. In the engine that is your craniosacral system, cerebrospinal fluid is the oil that keeps everything moving and protected. CST helps mobilize cerebrospinal fluid, keeping the engine moving smoothly.
In your car, when the oil gets dirty, the engine becomes compromised and no longer functions at its best. In your body, when the flow of cerebrospinal fluid becomes compromised, your body no longer functions at its best. In a similar way that getting your oil changed regularly keeps your car functioning at peak efficiency, CST helps your body function more effectively. With CST, your body & mind relax into clearer thinking, diminished pain, deeper rest, and improved health.
