CranioSacral Therapy (CST) – Gentle Touch for Balance and Relaxation
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the craniosacral system—the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding and protecting the brain and spinal cord. Developed in the 1970s by osteopathic physician Dr. John E. Upledger, CST focuses on light touch techniques to support relaxation, balance, and overall well-being.
How CranioSacral Therapy Works:
Using a soft, non-invasive touch, the practitioner gently evaluates the craniosacral rhythm and works to release restrictions in the body. This subtle technique encourages whole-body relaxation and may help ease discomfort related to:
old or new injuries,
physical strain or tension,
emotional stress or trauma.
By supporting the body’s natural self-regulating processes, CST encourages a sense of calm and helps restore ease to the nervous system.
SomatoEmotional Release (SER)
SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is an extension of CST that addresses the body–mind connection. It is a guided process designed to help release the residual effects of physical or emotional tension, encouraging greater freedom and resilience.
Why People Choose CranioSacral Therapy
Many people seek CST sessions to support:
Head and Nervous System Comfort - headaches or migraines, tension in the neck, back, or jaw (including TMJ), post-concussion effects or head injuries, nervous system strain.
Whole-Body Balance and Mobility - postural challenges or scoliosis, chronic muscle or connective tissue tension, fatigue and low energy states.
Emotional and Stress Relief - overwhelm, anxious states, stress-related discomfort, post-traumatic experiences.
Post-Surgical and Recovery Support - easing scar tissue tension, regaining comfort after procedures.
The Gentle Power of CST
CranioSacral Therapy is deeply relaxing, client-centered, and non-invasive. With just a light touch, it supports the body’s ability to let go of tension, rebalance the nervous system, and encourage overall well-being.
