What is
Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle but potent way of working with the body using a light touch. It supports your body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself as well as helping to reduce stress and build underlying energy. It is suitable for everyone, from newly-born babies to the elderly.
How Does CST Work?
The practitioner uses an extraordinarily light touch — typically no more than around 5 grams of pressure — placed gently on the body. From this contact, they are able to feel the subtle motions, restrictions and quality of the craniosacral system, which is made up of the fluids, tissues, membranes and bones. The practitioner follows the body rather than impose an outcome upon it, remaining neutral, present and responsive while the body communicates its restrictions, accesses ease and reorganises into greater harmony.
The process of reorganisation can continue for hours or even days after a treatment as the body integrates the changes. For many people, this leads to reduced or eliminated symptoms, greater ease of movement and overall more harmony.
For those with long-term conditions, this process can occasionally bring temporary discomfort, tiredness and emotional release. In most cases, this is not a sign that something is wrong, but rather a reflection of the body reorganising and harmonising.
