What is Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive hands-on treatment that uses touch to improve the function of the craniosacral system. The craniosacral system includes the brain, spinal cord, skull, and lower spine.
How it works
CST practitioners use light touch to explore the mobility of the skull and pelvis. They feel for distortions in the face and follow tissue movement to release tension. CST can help relieve pain and other symptoms by releasing tension in the body’s connective tissue.
