CranioSacral Therapy

"The beauty of CranioSacral Therapy is that it works gently to facilitate the free flow and ease of movement of all the body's fluids, membranes, muscles and fascia." John Upledger, DO

A gentle, hands-on method of enhancing the function of the CranioSacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction. It can be deep and transformative work.
