Craniosacral Therapy uses a non invasive, soft, subtle touch that has a powerful affect on the body's ability to self heal and improve how the whole body functions.
Craniosacral Therapy(CST) treatment aims to release restrictions and tension within the craniosacral system (skull, spine, sacrum, membranes and cerebrospinal fluid). CST is a very gentle, hands on therapy that taps into the body’s natural ability to heal itself by releasing restrictions in, both physical and emotional, in connective tissue and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest). By normalising the nervous system, it is possible to enhance the body’s ability for physiological regulation and tissue relaxation.
What to expect
During your treatment, you remain full clothed and usually lie on your back for the whole time. Pillows are used to enhance your comfort and the environment is warm and peaceful. People usually experience deep relaxation, clients who monitor their heart rate have reported a slower rate during treatment. You may experience signs of the body releasing tension as stress like deep sighs, heat or cold in certain parts of the body, pulling, tension, 'nice pain', pressure, seeing colours, emotional release of tears or laughter. You may experience all or non of these things, nothing is expected or 'normal', just what your body will experience on that particular day. There is no right or wrong!

CST doesn't necessarily target specific conditions as it allows the body to enter a healing state to help it correct itself and therapists are mainly guided by the energy and pull of your body's Inner Wisdom. We treat the whole person not just the symptoms.
That said CST can help the body correct and heal a whole host of conditions such as:
