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?

There is an innate health within us that maintains our day to day health and vitality. It is a brilliant "default" setting that always has our best intention at heart, that is to keep us as healthy as possible, given the environment we are in (both internal and external environment). It's fascinating if you stop and think about how naturally the body realigns us moment to moment to keep us going. 

 

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

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

Craniosacral therapy assist the body to heal itself through these traumas, by identifying where they are imprinted and re-establishing health to these areas.

 

This is done through the craniosacral system which consists of fluids, membranes, fascia and bones, however it benefits each and every cell and system of the body.
