CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a hands on therapy where the touch is gentle, non-invasive and usually subtle. But do not be fooled ! It is also a powerful therapy that affects the Central Nervous System to assist in improving function in the whole body.

The CranioSacral system (CSS) consists of the brain and spinal cord, the 3 membranes and the fascia connections to the bones of the cranium, cervical vertebrae and sacrum. The dura mater is the tough outer membrane that connects to the cranium and sacrum and contains the entire, fluid CSS. The CSS has a slow, gentle rhythm that resonates throughout the whole body. Through gentle soft tissue release, I will work with the CranioSacral rhythm (CSR) to release tension in the fascia and balance the ligaments, muscles and bones. The CSR can be felt as a result of subtle palpation through contact with the cranium, spine and sacrum, as well as throughout the entire body. If there is no movement or expression of the CSR throughout the body’s tissues, then restriction , dysfunction and pain settle into the body.

I will assess the body for restrictions and then use a very light touch to encourage expansion, mobility and healing. CranioSacral therapy effectively creates deep change through gentle touch by addressing issues at the core of the body’s health. The treatment is deeply relaxing.

Regular CST sessions can help to maintain health, wellbeing and immunity as well as ward off depression, musculoskeletal dysfunction and stress.

CranioSacral Therapy is performed fully clothed on a comfortable massage couch and is beneficial for all ages from newborn to elderly.

"Throughout this gentle, non-invasive bodywork I am overwhelmed by a feeling of being safe and become totally in-tune with my body and mind. Even after the 1st session I felt completely relaxed and untroubled , this feeling of calm remained and was commented on by my family and friends who have noticed the improvement in my spirits. I would not hesitate to recommend CranioSacral Therapy."
