CranioSacral Therapy is a deep tissue but light touch form of bodywork. The therapist uses pressure of about 5 grams, or the weight of a nickel. It is usually performed with the client fully clothed on a treatment table. It is thought to help with a wide range of health issues, through the correction of connective tissue dysfunctions.
What is CranioSacral Therapy?
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on treatment of the nervous system to improve physical conditions throughout the entire body. CST is also effective in treating psychological and emotional conditions. Using a soft touch, practitioners release structural restrictions in the tissue which allows the body’s own natural healing ability to reorganize into a more balanced state of functioning.
