WHAT IS CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY?

Just as your heart pumps oxygenated blood to your organs and tissues, the craniosacral system (your brain and spinal cord and their surrounding tissues) has its own pump, called the craniosacral rhythm, to move spinal fluid around your brain and spinal cord. CST is based on the principle of working *with* this natural internal rhythm, rather than trying to force change without regard for this delicate system of self-regulation. Over the course of our lives, and before we are even born, certain events and injuries can impact the bones and tissues surrounding our brain and spinal cord, and result in restrictions and unevenness in the craniosacral rhythm over time.

Restrictions in the flow of spinal fluid are not as immediately life-threatening as an interruption in your blood circulatory system, but they can be related to debilitating conditions that may build over time. While the full breadth of these are still being studied, it can include headache, migraine, fatigue, psychiatric conditions, developmental delays, auto-immune conditions, and dysfunctions in the nervous system.

A Craniosacral Therapist evaluates the quality of the craniosacral rhythm at various points on the body, and uses gentle techniques to correct restriction and asymmetry, and promote full, even flow of spinal fluid.
