Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle but potent way of working with the body using a light touch. It supports your body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself as well as helping to reduce stress and build underlying energy. It is suitable for everyone, from newly-born babies to the elderly.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that aims to enhance the body's natural healing abilities by focusing on the craniosacral system. This system includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord, extending from the bones of the skull (cranium) down to the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine).

During a session, a Craniosacral Therapist uses light touch to detect and release restrictions or imbalances in the craniosacral system. By gently manipulating the bones of the skull, spine, and pelvis, they seek to improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, alleviate tension, and enhance the body's ability to self-regulate and heal.

Craniosacral Therapy is often used to address a wide range of conditions, including headaches, neck and back pain, stress-related disorders, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, and various other musculoskeletal and nervous system issues. It is known for its non-invasive, gentle approach, making it suitable for people of all ages, including infants and the elderly.

While Craniosacral Therapy is sometimes viewed with skepticism due to its subtle nature and the lack of scientific consensus on its mechanisms of action, many people report significant benefits from treatment, including pain relief, relaxation, improved sleep, and enhanced overall well-being. As with any complementary or alternative therapy, it's essential to work with a qualified practitioner and communicate openly about your health concerns and goals.
