CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that evaluates and enhances the functioning of the craniosacral system — the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This therapy promotes a natural healing environment by releasing tension deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction, improving whole-body health and performance.
How CranioSacral Therapy Works
CST works by using light touch, generally no more than the weight of a nickel, to detect and release restrictions in the craniosacral system. These restrictions may be the result of physical injuries, emotional trauma, inflammation, or chronic stress. By facilitating the body’s natural healing mechanisms, CST restores balance to the nervous system and enhances the body’s ability to self-correct.

CranioSacral Therapy for Infants and Children
CST is particularly beneficial for newborns and children. Birth can be a physically and emotionally stressful event, and CST helps correct imbalances early. Common pediatric concerns include colic, latching issues, sleep disturbances, and developmental delays.
