What is Cranio-Sacral Therapy?

Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST) is a very gentle yet powerful therapy which aims to assist a return to a balanced healthy state both in mind and body. CST can treat a wide variety of conditions by treating the underlying causes and relieve symptoms because it promotes health, strength and vitality.

CST supports your body’s innate ability to restore and heal itself as well as helping to reduce stress and build your underlying energy.

CST is a very gentle, safe and non invasive therapy that can be used for all ages from newborn babies to the elderly.

Often, patients experience feelings of deep relaxation and warmth as the body and mind is encouraged towards a more balanced, calm and integrated state of well being.

What does it involve?

You will be asked some questions about your medical history including any falls or injuries. Also any medicines you are taking and your own birth history if you know it.

CST is most often carried out with the patient lying down, fully clothed, in a peaceful environment. 

Treatment involves a very gentle touch of the practitioner’s hands both for diagnosis and for treatment. The light contact may be taken up on the Cranium (head), the Sacrum (tail bone), the feet, the trunk, or any other part of the body as appropriate.

The practitioner can identify the pulls, twists, tensions and restrictions that have accumulated as a result of accidents, injuries, diseases, and stresses throughout life, thereby blocking the body’s inherent potential to heal itself.

The Cranio-Sacral release of the restrictions, restores the free flow of the body’s inherent vitality, enhancing the body’s natural ability to promote and maintain health, to heal injuries, to counteract disease and infection and to restore full mobility and proper function. The CST process enables not only the relief of symptoms, but also the elimination of the underlying causes.
