Craniosacral Therapy is becoming a treatment of choice in areas of
pain, rehabilitation and neurology.  Also
called CST, or cranial osteopathy, it is a gentle, non-invasive,
hands-on technique, developed by an American osteopathic physician
almost one hundred years ago.
CST theory and practice is based on understanding the continuous
subtle movements of the cranial bones, which result in a rhythm of
approximately six to twelve cycles per minute. This rhythm is
understood as a response to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fluctuations
within the spinal cord and brain subtle movement
extends outward to the entire body, in response to the fluid
pressure changes around the CNS.
A therapist gently works with the spine and the skull, and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia. By using the hands as fine discriminating tools, Craniosacral therapists are able to detect disturbances in the rhythm to help them identify areas of dysfunction, such as cranial, sutural, membrane and other soft tissue restrictions in the body.
Patients remained clothed during a treatment and treatments
generally are one hour long.
