Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle form of bodywork that releases soft tissue restrictions in the fascial system of the body.  The fascial system is a system of tissue that is one continuous piece that goes from our head to our toes.  If there is restriction in one part of the system, it creates tension on the system as a whole.  Craniosacral therapy helps the body to release these restrictions to restore optimal functioning to the nervous system & the body overall. Craniosacral therapists believe that the body is always trying to achieve homeostasis and that it inherently knows what it needs to achieve it.  Sometimes, however, with soft tissue restrictions due to a wide variety of reasons, the body needs a little help getting there.

This is where Craniosacral Therapy, or CST comes in! Craniosacral Therapy is beneficial for bodies of all ages!  It is particularly effective with babies & children since their bodies are so malleable & oftentimes neuromuscular pathways haven’t settled into habitual patterns or are more easily shifted to a more optimal pattern.  A skilled practitioner can evaluate your baby, determine where the restrictions are and gently facilitate release by applying no more than 5 grams of pressure, about the weight of a nickel on the tip of your finger. Because this form of bodywork is driven by the child’s body itself and the practitioner is using such light pressure, this is a very safe form of bodywork for children of all ages.
