Cranial Therapy for Adults or
Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
It’s a type of bodywork that relieves compression in the bones of the head, sacrum (a triangular bone in the lower back), and spinal column.
CST is non-invasive. It uses gentle pressure on the head, neck, and back to relieve the stress and pain caused by compression. It can, as a result, help to treat a number of conditions. Cranial sacral therapy can be used for people of all ages.
It’s thought that through the gentle manipulation of the bones in the skull, spine, and pelvis, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the central nervous system can be normalized. This removes “blockages” from the normal flow, which enhances the body’s ability to heal. It can be part of an already-scheduled treatment visit or the sole purpose for your appointment.
Cranial Therapy may be part of your treatment for conditions like;
- migraines and headaches
- constipation
- irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- disturbed sleep cycles and insomnia
- scoliosis
- sinus infections
- neck pain
- fibromyalgia
- recurrent ear infections or colic in infants
- TMJ
- trauma recovery, including trauma from whiplash
- mood disorders like anxiety or depression
