Cranial Sacral Therapy

Cranial Sacral Therapy

Cranial Sacral therapy is a gentle yet profound hands-on form of treatment that assists the body’s natural ability to heal itself.  Working with the body’s inherent life force, Cranial Sacral Therapy facilitates the release of physical and emotional pain and helps the body restore vitality and well being.

Cranial Sacral therapy is for everyone, it can help with:

• Asthma
• Sleep Disorders
• Back Ache
• Birth Trauma
• Sports or other Injuries
• Bone and Joint Disorders
• Chronic Fatigue
• Headaches/Migraine
• Dental Problems
• TMJ Syndrome
• Digestive Disorders
• Hormonal Imbalances
• Stress
• Sciatica
• Muscular Aches and Pains
• Anxiety and Depression

How does it work?

Physical knocks or emotional stress cause contraction within the body. This contraction manifests as restriction in the natural rhythms of the body’s tissues and fluids, which may result in tension, pain, blockages and disfunction. The cranial sacral therapist works with this subtle rhythmic motion in the body reflecting to the body its own inherent vitality and where there are disturbances. This gives the body the opportunity to release restrictions and restore healthy functioning.

What does treatment involve?

Treatment is carried out with the patient lying down fully clothed. The therapist will make gentle contact with the head, feet and base of the spine or other areas of the body where appropriate. The experience is often wonderfully relaxing, you may feel gentle pulsing, heat, tingling or other sensations as your body begins to relax and re balance. Your body will determine the priority and pace of work so you remain in control and are able to integrate what you are experiencing.

A CST session normally lasts around one hour, people often experience relief after one or two sessions but a series of treatments may be recommended depending on your body’s needs.
