Cranio Sacral Therapy
Cranio Sacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch whole body treatment technique, developed by John E Upledger, DO, OMM. CST works with the body’s craniosacral system to support and nourish the central nervous system - improving overall health and well-being.
It is a complementary method of hands on bodywork; it works with the natural and unique rhythms of the different body systems to pinpoint and address problem sources.
The skilled gentle palpation of the cranial (skull) and the spine/pelvis bones helps regulate the cerebrospinal fluid that nourishes the brain and spinal cord tissues.
By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
• Migraine Headaches
• Chronic Neck and Back Pain
• Motor-Coordination Impairments
• Colic conditions
• Central Nervous System Disorders
• Orthopedic Problems
• Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Learning Disabilities
• Chronic Fatigue
• Emotional Difficulties
• Stress and Tension-Related Problems
CST improves the body’s ability to self-care; it assists in alleviating aches, pains and strains of life. It also helps with improving coping mechanism to allow for better management of stress.
