Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on healing approach where the therapist partners with you to bring awareness into the natural rhythms of your body. By increasing your body’s awareness to the source of the pain and dysfunction at the physical, mental, and emotional level, there is an opportunity for the body’s innate intelligence to restore health.
It is born from the principles of Osteopathy and includes influential advances in neuroscience, human development, prenatal and perinatal psychology, and trauma resolution. BCST takes a whole-body approach to these fundamentals and works directly with the natural healing capacity of the body.
What to expect during a treatment?
During a session the client, wearing comfortable clothes, will lie down on a massage table (most often on their back). The therapist will use a variety of hand holds to best meet the client's needs. The holds can help relieve restrictions, freeing up deeply held patterns in the body. Releases from the body can sometimes feel hot or cold, and at times, not always, can include shaking as the nervous system discharges held energy.
Who is it best suited for?
The therapy is safe for all ages, from babies to the young at heart, and can be an effective for both acute and chronic conditions. CST can support your health journey on whatever road you find yourself on; but to name a few ailments, CST can help: improve sleep, ADD, ADHD, Trauma, PTSD, neurological disorders, anxiety, dental realignments (braces), low mood, autoimmune disorders and more.
