CranioSacral Therapy

Cranial sacral therapy (CST) is sometimes also referred to as craniosacral therapy. It’s a type of bodywork that relieves compression in the bones of the head, sacrum (a triangular bone in the lower back), and spinal column.

CST is non-invasive. It uses gentle pressure on the head, neck, and back to relieve the stress and pain caused by compression. It can, as a result, help to treat several conditions.  This can soothe pain and release both emotional and physical stress and tension. It’s also thought to help restore cranial mobility and ease or release restrictions of the head, neck, and nerves.

Cranial sacral therapy can be used for people of all ages. It may be part of your treatment for conditions like:

• migraines and headaches
• constipation
• irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• disturbed sleep cycles and insomnia
• scoliosis
• sinus infections
• neck pain
• fibromyalgia
• recurrent ear infections or colic in infants
• TMJ
• trauma recovery, including trauma from whiplash
• mood disorders like anxiety or depression
• difficult pregnancies
