CranioSacral Therapy (CST) has a wide range of applications to the treatment of the 'whole person.' Based on the original precepts of Osteopathy founded by A.T. Still over a century ago, this innovative branch of mind body medicine calls upon the inner intelligence of the body to self regulate and heal itself.
How can CranioSacral Therapy help me? That depends to some extent on what your body has to say. What I mean by that is depending on your medical, emotional, and physical history, CranioSacral Therapy may be more useful for some applications than others. I've found that for headaches, digestive disorders, tmj, head trauma, learning difficulties, car and horse accidents, post operative recovery and physical insults to the body, to name a few, CranioSacral therapy can be quite effective. It can also be effective in addressing traumas that have an emotional component, and that this can be addressed, if necessary, in a very safe way. CranioSacral Therapy has wonderful results on children also.
In the most general sense, CranioSacral therapy works for balance, and to restore harmony to the body at the level of the core nervous system. Because CranioSacral therapy works by directly accessing the central nervous system, we allow the body to most effectively use its inner intelligence to repair, re-regulate and re-harmonize old traumas and insults that we have experienced in life, whether they are recent or very old. It may help you to completely release something that has never 'gone away', make you more comfortable or function better for a condition that is chronic or irreversible, or just simply allow you to feel more relaxed and in touch with your body.
