Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

Once the source of a patient's problem is isolated, CST can be combined with other therapies to facilitate the most effective results. These may include SomatoEmotional Release®, Therapeutic Imagery & Dialogue, Visceral Manipulation, Mechanical Link, Lymph Drainage Therapy, acupuncture, acupressure, counseling services, and Massage Therapy.

By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:

· Migraine Headaches
· Chronic Neck and Back Pain
· Motor-Coordination Impairments
