CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a technique developed by osteopathic physicians to provide an effective, non- invasive therapy. CST is centered around the continuous, subtle movements of the cranial bones. These subtle movements create a rhythm that is a direct response to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fluctuations within the spinal cord and brain.
In CST sessions a therapist will work with the spine and the skull to detect disturbances in the rhythm and help identify areas of dysfunction that they then proceed to treat in treatment sessions that typically last an hour.
What does CST provide?
- Releases abnormal myofascial restrictions and tensions in the body
- Releases abnormal restrictions in the head
- Eases restrictions of nerves
- Optimizes cerebrospinal fluid movement through the central nervous system
- Helps restore misaligned bones to their proper positions (assisting with troubles in the back, hips, shoulders, knees, etc.)
CranioSacral Therapy is beneficial for those dealing with:
- Recurrent ear infections
- Facial asymmetries and eye motor problems
- Learning disabilities, A.D.D., A.D.H.D
- Gross and fine motor problems
- Developmental delays (i.e. autism)
- Miller-Dieker Syndrome
- Headaches
- Tinnitus, hearing loss and vertigo
- TMJ syndrome
- Stress disorders and insomnia
- Muscle and joint pain or injury
