What is CranioSacral Therapy (CST)?

 

This is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. It was pioneered and developed by Osteopathic Physician John E. Upledger after years of clinical testing and research at Michigan State University where he served as professor of biomechanics. Using a soft touch which is generally no greater than 5 grams – about the weight of a nickel – practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system. CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and it's effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction. This effective therapy involves delicate manipulations that bring relief to problem areas and reduces stress on the brain and spinal cord. This effective technique increases the bodies’ ability to heal itself. CranioSacral Therapy helps to alleviate a range of illnesses and pain including: Headaches and Migraines, Neck and Back Pain, Stress, Chronic Fatigue, Emotional Difficulties, TMJ and many other conditions.
