Did you know the nervous system plays a vital role in how we release tension? It's true — only when the brain perceives safety does it signal the body to relax, unwind, and begin the healing process.

With CST,  gentle manual therapy techniques are used to release restrictions in the bones and fascia of the cranium and spine to allow a free flow of cerebrospinal fluid. This encourages healthier function in the central nervous system (CNS) and throughout the entire body.  It's been said that when the CNS is happy, everything is happy! 

CST is a gentle therapy performed with a light touch.  One of the most appealing aspects of CST is its gentle nature, which makes it suitable for people of all ages. CST can be adapted to meet your unique needs, from infants to the elderly.  Craniosacral therapy is used to address various issues, including headaches, neck pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, and stress-related problems, along with many others.

What to wear?

Comfortable clothing which will allow you to move freely on the therapy table. Yoga and athletic clothing work well.

CST can be a stand-alone session, or incorporated into a Thai massage session.

The History of Craniosacral Therapy -

In 1978 Dr. Upledger, an  osteopathic physician, developed a hypothesis of the craniosacral dura mater and cerebrospinal fluid being integrated into a comprehensive model of the craniosacral system, which he termed the "PressureStat Model". The results of his scientific studies at MSU helped explain the function of the craniosacral system and its use in evaluating and treating poorly understood malfunctions of the brain and spinal cord. Dr. Upledger went on to develop the manual therapy that he called "Craniosacral Therapy," as well as other complementary disciplines that are now taught worldwide to healthcare professionals. To this day, the PressureStat Model has stood the test of time.
