Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a manual therapy technique consisting of light touch, listening, and good intentions; to engage the tissues, evaluate, and encourage the body to change and heal itself. The gentleness of this work is in contrast to the profoundly positive effect it can have on a broad spectrum of health conditions.

What is the craniosacral system?

The craniosacral system consists of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the skull bones (cranium), the tailbone (sacrum), the structures involved in producing and circulating cerebrospinal fluid, and the membranes that contain the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). Examples of more commonly recognized systems in the body, are the circulatory system and the respiratory system. These bodily systems have inherent rhythms. The circulatory system has the heartbeat. The respiratory system has the breath cycle. The craniosacral system also has a rhythm. This rhythm is created by the manufacture and subsequent filling and draining of the cerebrospinal fluid within its membranous confines.

A skilled Craniosacral Therapist will use techniques to “listen” to the subtle rhythms of the cerebrospinal fluid and make evaluations based on specific criteria. The art of “listening” to the body in this manner begins the process of becoming a witness to its innate wisdom and a facilitator, supporting the body’s ability to change and self-regulate.

Its not necessary to have a “problem” in order to benefit from CST.
