Craniosacral Therapy: A Path to Natural Healing
Restoring Balance and Well-being
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach designed to relieve tension, improve nervous system function, and enhance overall health. A light pressure technique is applied to the body to assess the craniosacral rhythm. This practice engages the body’s self healing and self regulating capabilities to create harmony in the craniosacral system. , CST encourages the smooth circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, helping the body restore its natural rhythms. This process not only supports the central nervous system but also promotes relief from chronic pain, stress, migraines, and emotional imbalances.
How Craniosacral Therapy Works
Unlike deep tissue massage or chiropractic adjustments, CST uses subtle touch to release restrictions in the body’s tissues. This allows the body to self-correct and heal from the inside out. Many people experience deep relaxation and a profound sense of well-being after a session.

Conditions CST Can Help With
CST is known to have positive effects on multiple body systems, including the cardiovascular, immune, musculoskeletal, and endocrine systems. It has been shown to help with:
Headaches, migraines, and insomnia
Chronic pain in the neck, back, and joints
Anxiety, depression, and emotional imbalances
Sinus and respiratory issues such as asthma and bronchitis
Digestive problems and menstrual irregularities
TMJ and dental issues
Motor coordination impairments
Post-surgical recovery
What to Expect During a Session
An initial CST session is 90 minutes and followup sessions typically lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. The client remains fully clothed and lies comfortably on a massage table while the therapist uses gentle touch to detect and release tension. Some people may feel warmth, tingling, or a deep sense of relaxation during the treatment.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Regular sessions can lead to lasting improvements in physical and emotional health. While some individuals feel relief after just one session, most benefit from a series of treatments to experience the full effects of CST.
