CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician Dr. John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975-1983 at Michigan State University. He had served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics at the University. Cranial osteopathy had been developed by Dr. William Garner Sutherland in the 1930's.

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the CranioSacral system. It is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. The cranial practitioner follows the rhythms and stillness within the body with a light touch that is usually no greater than 5 grams. With this gentle touch, CST aids your body to release restrictions and improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, increase the function of the central nervous system and release compensation in the fascial systems. CST is also beneficial in releasing cell memory, which can assist the healing of the emotional body, birthing patterns, past traumas and accidents. It is deeply relaxing and a very powerful modality that can aid the body's natural healing process by offering balance and restoring peaceful harmony within.
