What is CranioSacral Therapy?
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and releasing restrictions in and around the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It is often used for the relief of chronic pain such as migraines, neck and back pain and can significantly reduce tension and stress, to name but a few capabilities.
Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, CST practitioners release restrictions in the body effecting the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, optimizing the body's potential physically and intellectually.
In practice, the technique usually yields results with no negative side effects. Results can be seen in as few as 2-4 sessions, although more involved situations may require additional sessions. Treatment sessions are typically one hour.
Who developed CST?
CST was pioneered and developed by Dr. John E. Upledger, DO, OMM, following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics. The benefits have been confirmed by research and clinical work over the past 30 years.
