What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle form of bodywork.  The client remains clothed, and the practitioner uses gentle touch to assess and treat. Through this touch the practitioner uses highly refined palpatory skills to identify areas of restriction. Rather than forcing the body into the "correct" position, we use techniques to assist the body to naturally release its restriction in its own specific way.  

This type of treatment brings greater peace to the body and mind.

 

It originated from an osteopathic background by Physician Dr. William Sutherland.

How does Craniosacral Therapy work?

The body has innate health that maintains our homeostasis each day. This inbuilt health system keeps us pretty healthy given the right environment.  

 

However, at times, the body gets overwhelmed by demands placed upon it, which leads to pain, poor health and feeling unwell.

Overwhelming factors include things like, a fall, a car accident or getting the flu or a virus. Or they can accumulate overtime, like the stress of being in an abusive relationship, grieving the death of a loved one, long term exposure to toxic mould etc.

Craniosacral therapy helps to clear these traumas from the body by identifying where the trauma is imprinted and re-establishing health to these areas poor health.

 

This is done through the craniosacral system. This system consists of fluids, membranes, fascia and bones. The practitioner uses highly refined palpatory skills to identify areas of restriction. Rather than forcing the body into the "correct" position, we use techniques to assist the body to naturally release its restriction in its own specific way.
