CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction while encompassing whole-body health and performance. Using a soft touch, practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues and the dural tube that surround the central nervous system, in turn restoring the natural flow of cerebrospinal fluid. It has a long history in osteopathy dating back to the 1900’s. The pioneers, Dr. Still, Dr. Sutherland and Dr. Magoun, worked tirelessly for over 50 years to develop its foundation.  From the 1970’s onwards, Dr. Upledger continued their work in collaboration with doctors and scientists to bring us craniosacral therapy, as it is known today. CST is particularly effective with a wide range of medical conditions such as concussion, low immunity, high stress, neurological issues, frozen shoulder, TMJ syndrome, migraines, circulation and, skeletal misalignment such as scoliosis and slip and falls.  Pediatric practice includes treatment for flat head syndrome, breastfeeding issues, birth trauma, torticollis, colic, and, tongue ties.
