What is Craniosacral Therapy, and how does it work?

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a non-invasive, hands-on approach to enhancing the body's natural healing processes. Developed by osteopathic physician Dr. John Upledger in the 1970s, CST focuses on the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding and protecting the brain and spinal cord.

The Science Behind Craniosacral Therapy

The craniosacral system plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's homeostasis. When this system is disrupted by stress, injury, or illness, various health issues can result. CST practitioners use a gentle touch, typically no more than the weight of a nickel, to evaluate and enhance the functioning of this system. By detecting and releasing restrictions in the craniosacral system, CST helps improve cerebrospinal fluid flow, which supports the body's ability to self-correct and heal.

The Technique

During a craniosacral therapy session, the therapist will:

  1. Assessment: Begin with thoroughly assessing the craniosacral rhythm, feeling for subtle cranial bones and sacrum movements.

  2. Gentle Manipulation: Apply light pressure to various points on the body, including the skull, spine, and pelvis, to release restrictions and improve fluid movement.

  3. Monitoring Response: Monitor the body's response to ensure the techniques are practical and adjust as needed.

  4. Holistic Approach: Address not only physical issues but also consider the emotional and psychological aspects that may be contributing to the client's condition.
