The principle of Craniosacral Therapy is that it works to restore the rhythmic flow of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) throughout your central nervous system. Because of its influence on the functioning of the central nervous system, Craniosacral Therapy (CST) can benefit the body in a number of ways — from bolstering overall health and resistance to disease, to alleviating a wide range of specific conditions.
Using a very light touch, the therapist applies a subtle movement, gently working with the spine, the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia. Restrictions of nerve passages are eased, CSF moves more freely through the spinal cord, and misaligned bones can be restored to their proper position, bringing the central nervous system into harmony.
Among Craniosacral Therapy’s largest patient groups are those suffering chronic symptoms that other therapy approaches have had little success with. In particular, it has proven beneficial to those with head, neck or back injuries resulting from an accident. CST is also highly effective with stress-related dysfunction's; insomnia, fatigue, headaches, poor digestion, anxiety and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are just a few examples. |
