CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is done with a client fully clothed, face up on a massage table.  A session involves working with the bones, articulations and energy pathways of the entire body.

Emphasis is on the head (cranium), spine and sacrum with the intention of balancing and freeing any restrictions in those pathways and the articulations that connect and integrate all areas of your body.  The practitioner uses an amazingly subtle and gentle touch during sessions.  If more severe trauma has occurred or if the trauma is the result of a chronic health condition, additional pressure may be necessary to release restrictions.

The CranioSacral system is, for the most part, a self-correcting system in the human body. The therapeutic touch of someone trained in this modality can help a client realign and balance this system while working through physical (muscle and joint pain/tension), emotional (fear, depression, anger, …) and spiritual issues that remain from past trauma, experiences or current chronic health conditions.

Past traumas that can create restrictions in the CranioSacral system can range from that seemingly harmless trauma of bumping your head on a car door frame to motor vehicle accidents, dental work, birth trauma, sexual and physical abuse.  Clients with a history of jaw pain/bruxism (teeth grinding), chronic headaches, migraines or TMJ that have had little or no success with other treatment protocols could very well find CST highly beneficial.

One chronic health condition that has been effectively treated with CST is mesothelioma. The American Cancer Society understands that CranioSacral Therapy can be beneficial for cancer patients, including those with mesothelioma, a form of cancer, when used in harmony with mainstream cancer treatment methods like chemotherapy. CranioSacral Therapy is said to relieve pain and headaches, restore a sense of balance and calm, and may even promote immune system function.

Both the healing and health benefits of CranioSacral Therapy are measurable and quantifiable.  Often achieving dramatic, measurable results where traditional western physicians have failed time and time again.
