What is Craniosacral therapy (CST)
CST uses light touch to engage the body. The gentle touch, provides the body with feedback and gives it focused attention and space needed to access its own healing mechanisms, release its stored tensions/injuries/traumas, and find healthy internal dynamics/homeostasis. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity. CST acts as a gentle reset for the body. Allowing space to process, adjust, realign itself, ultimately re-patterning itself into a place of safety trust, relaxation, and healing.
CST may provide the following benefits:
Stress reduction
Pain management
Improved mobility
Enhanced nervous system function
Emotional release
Improved sleep
