Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
A gentle hands-on technique that uses light touch to evaluate and release restrictions in the craniosacral system — the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Used for headaches, chronic pain, and nervous system regulation.
How Craniosacral Therapy Works
CST practitioners detect and release restrictions in the craniosacral system through light touch on the skull, sacrum, and spine. This normalizes the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, releases fascial restrictions, and promotes parasympathetic nervous system activation.
