THE SCIENCE • CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is light touch bodywork that supports the body’s natural ability to heal. CST is named for the spinal bones from the skull to the sacrum, a flat triangular shaped bone at the base of the spine. The craniosacral system includes the tissues and fluid around the brain and spinal cord that protects and nourishes the central nervous system. Here’s how it helps:
If you’ve had an injury or trauma that has left you feeling unwell, you might be experiencing a structural blockage that’s causing dysfunction or pain. Since the craniosacral system is the pathway for messages between the brain and the body, it relies on a natural flow and rhythm to nourish and heal the body. CST works with the craniosacral structure — the bones, tissues, and fluids of the central nervous system — to restore balance and release restrictions that impede that natural flow.
If you’ve had a traumatic experience, your body naturally tries to repair the tensions left behind in your tissue. But when those tensions aren’t fully released, they can become trapped in the tissue and can result in pain or symptoms that are otherwise inexplicable. SER is a mind/body practice that finds and releases these restrictions that can result in chronic physical illness, decreased immune function, fatigue, anxiety, or stress.
