What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch manual therapy that works with the body’s self-correcting mechanism to affect multiple structural and physiological systems in attaining greater health and well-being. As the name implies, it involves mobilizing restrictions within the cranium and the sacrum. However, because of the anatomical and physiological connections, it is really a whole-body approach. It is practiced by various healthcare professionals including physical therapists.

What to Expect in Your Session?
A Safe and Tranquil Environment.
A typical CranioSacral Therapy session lasts from 45 minutes to an hour and takes place in a quiet, private setting. As a client, you remain fully clothed as you relax on a comfortable, padded massage or treatment table. The practitioner will stand or sit positioned at various points of your head, torso, or feet. At times your practitioner may also support your limbs and spine while helping your body release accumulated tension.
What You Will Experience
What you experience during a CST session is highly individual. Some people say they feel deeply relaxed, while others describe feeling unwinding sensations as the body releases tension. You may even recall circumstances surrounding a past trauma or injury that caused your body stress. While it doesn't occur in every session, this aspect of the process called SomatoEmotional Release is perfectly normal and helps the body reverse dysfunction and restore optimal levels of mobility.
Because each individual response to CST is unique, the number of sessions needed to resolve any particular condition varies widely. While one session may give you the relief you need, your situation may require more therapy before it's completely alleviated.
There are few situations in which CST is not recommended. They include any condition in which changes in intracranial pressure are still a concern (ex. non-shunted hydrocephaly, acute aneurysm, recent skull fracture, and recent cerebral hemorrhage.
