Cranialsacral Therapy (CST)
Craniosacral Therapy addresses the craniosacral system. Parts of the system include: cerebrospinal fluid, the lining (the mednigies) of the brain and spinal cord that contains cerebrospinal fluid. The craniosacral system has a powerful influence over the nervous system, as well as the endocrine and immune systems. There is also a palpable subtle rhythmic pulsation that is characteristic of the craniosacral system.
The Craniosacral therapist searches for areas of restriction in the body that may be restricting the craniosacral system from functioning at its optimum. The therapist can access the craniosacral system by gently touching bones of the scull, the sacrum (large bone at the base of the spine) and other areas of the body.
The result of a restriction in the craniosacral system may result in anything from headache to body aches that could be anywhere in the body. The central nervous stem sends messages to the muscles and organs in the body. It is important that the muscles and organs get these unrestricted messages. There are few systems in the body that have as much influence on the central nervous system as the craniosacral system - having it healthy and fully functioning can make a world of difference in your physical, emotional and spiritual health.
CST sessions usually last 60-90 minutes. The client lays on a comfortable table, fully clothed and usually face-up. The therapist places hands on the various parts of the body with very gentle pressure. Most people find the treatment so relaxing that it is easy to fall asleep. If you don't fall asleep, you may notice tension release in the form of subtle pulsations or energetic waves. You may feel pains show up and disappear. You may feel heat in the area of restriction and tension decreases.
Outcome: How many session will it take to get rid of the symptoms. After your session, you will most likely feel more relaxed and comfortable than you have in some time. Your symptoms may have completed disappeared or feel slightly or much better. It is common that over the next few days you will experience changes and continue to improve. You may feel euphoric and energized for days after a session. Breathing may be noticeably easier. It is possible you may feel a little tired. Sleep will most likely come easily the night of your session.
