While the practitioner guides the natural unwinding process of the patient, CST offers an invitation for the patient to heal. It settles the mind and body, allowing individuals to connect with tensions that were originally established for protection. This process enables these tensions to be released, integrated, and healed—if the patient so chooses to engage in the transformative experience.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on technique designed to assess and improve the function of the craniosacral system—the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Practitioners employ a light, expansive touch to release restrictions within this system. Research has demonstrated that CST enhances the functioning of the central nervous system and supports various bodily systems, including digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and circulatory systems. Additionally, CST has proven effective in treating psycho-emotional and psycho-spiritual disorders such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety.
