CranioSacral Therapy or CST is a powerful healing technique that accesses the CranioSacral Rhythm in the cerebrospinal fluid and making fine adjustments to the bones of the head, spine and pelvis. CST is great for physical injuries to the head, neck and back as well as illness and autoimmune disease. This is an energetic light touch therapy so it works similar to Reiki in that hands are placed gently on the body at various points as the head, shoulders, torso and legs. By accessing the CS system, your own body's natural healing process is initiated. Energetic body work is done to make gentle releases of the fascia or connective tissues that surround the muscles. These releases facilitate changes in fluid pressure and minor adjustments in bone and tissue alignment. It is these fine adjustments that re-balance the system, relieving pressure, pain, stress and illness. CST Works well for stress and alignment issues such as TMJ. Unlike Chiropractic work, CST works gently and energetically with your own body's rhythms and permission. So it makes small gentle changes and never forces your body, but only assists your body in making the changes that are right for your internal healing process and continues to balance your body.

CST was originally developed to work to help children with autism and ADHD and has been show to be an effective therapy for children as it can in many cases relieve symptoms such as hyperactivity and anxiety, can improve communication, flexibility and behavior. Issues in the temporal area have been found to cause reading problems and dyslexia. Cranial Base issues involving tightness in the back of the neck have been related to coordination, communication, autism and much more.

While results can not be predicted, I have seen some very nice positive results often immediately after just one session.   Most dramatic results I see are often clients with chronic pain.   Generally clients have an overall sense of wellbeing, have more energy, feel more relaxed, sleep well and have creative ideas.
