CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a system of assessing and treating the whole body by using very gentle/ light touch or palpation. It is done fully clothed. The therapist palpates the CranioSacral Rhythm (CSR) from the feet all the way up to the head and areas of restricted movement or tightness can be identified.

 

Many times, the area that is treated can be different from the area where symptoms are experienced because the body adapts to everyday stresses in a unique, for every person, way. So it's important to always treat with an open mind and to follow the tissue restrictions.

 

This type of treatment is unique as the therapist doesn't "decide" what the problem is but rather "listens" to the body by tunning in to the tissues. The therapist supports the patient and his/ her inner wisdom.

 

CranioSacral Therapy can help with relaxation, which is when the healing processes are optimized. It can improve various chronic problems where pain and discomfort are the main complaints. Also, it can help with de-sensitisation, when hypersensitivity has been established and ordinary touch is difficult to tolerate. For more info on the Upledger CranioSacral Therapy, click here.
