CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral (CST) improves fluid movement in all systems throughout the body enhancing the supply of nutrients to cells, the removal of toxins and waste products from tissues, improves circulation of immune cells helping build natural defenses against bacteria and viruses. It also delivers fresh blood to organs and tissues and the movement of cerebrospinal fluid.
This vital system influences the development and performance of the brain and spinal cord. An imbalance or restriction in it could potentially cause any number of sensory, motor or neurological disabilities. Everyday you endure stresses and strains that your body absorbs. After so much tension, the tissues begin to tighten and affect the brain and spinal cord. This can compromise the function of the central nervous system and nearly every other system in your body. CST releases tensions that allow the entire body to relax and self-correct. By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best. CST naturally eliminates pain and stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your health and well being.
Some of the conditions it addresses are: Migraines and headaches, chronic neck and lower back pain, stress and tension related disorders, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, TMJ, scoliosis emotional difficulties, post traumatic stress disorder, central nervous system disorders. In babies and children: ADD/ADHD, reduces fever, increases immune system, torticollis, motor problems, spasticity, sprains, strains, bumps and bruises
CST can eliminate or decrease the severity of many disorders listed above that are caused from the birthing process. Different areas of the body can be over extended, stuck or jammed. CST can release these areas and open the channels to flow so the body can heal itself. TMJ, braces and orthodontic issues such as tightness, headaches, and pain caused from these issues can be reduced and eliminated.
CST is performed on a person fully clothed, as you relax on a comfortable, padded table Your therapist uses gentle touch on various parts of the body to monitor the rhythm of the fluid that is flowing around the central nervous system. Then uses delicate manual techniques to release the problem areas. A CST session can last up to an hour or more
Recommendations
To receive the most benefits from this therapy, I recommend a series of 3 CST treatments about a week apart. Then reassess how the client is doing and either continue weekly or spread out sessions based on client outcome. Three sessions can help the body "remember " what it is like to be balanced and harmonized with itself.
