CranioSacral is truly amazing. I've seen chronic pain gone after one treatment, concussion pain gone, edema gone. Sometimes it's with one treatment, most conditions need at least 3-6.

  Cranio is about following the tissues, allowing the body to guide you to the location of another layer that must be released.

Cranio is about listening within to the innate wisdom of your higher self, it's about letting go of all of the holding patterns in your body that are no longer wanted or needed.

It's about allowing your body to return to it's natural, unobstructed flow.

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep within the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. It was pioneered and developed by Osteopathic Physician John E. Upledger after years of clinical testing and research at Michigan State University where he served as professor of biomechanics. He went on to open the Upledger Institute which continues to facilitate workshops all over the world, teaching thousands of therapists this unique healing modality.

CranioSacral is a light touch therapy that releases restrictions deep within the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole body health and performance. CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and it's effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.

How CranioSacral Therapy Works

Few structures have as much influence over the body's ability to function properly as the brain and spinal cord that make up the central nervous system. And, the central nervous system is heavily influenced by the craniosacral system  which includes the membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord.

Every day your body endures stresses and strains and your body absorbs them. Unfortunately, these changes often cause body tissues to tighten and distort the craniosacral system. These distortions can then cause tension to form around the brain and spinal cord resulting in restrictions. This can create a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system, and potentially every other system it interacts with.

Fortunately, such restrictions can be detected and corrected using simple methods of touch. With a light touch, the CST practitioner uses his or her hands to evaluate the craniosacral system by gently feeling various locations of the body to test for the ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid pulsing around the brain and spinal cord. Soft-touch techniques are then used to release restrictions in any tissues influencing the craniosacral system.

By normalizing the environment around the brain and spinal cord and enhancing the body's ability to self-correct, CranioSacral Therapy is able to alleviate a wide variety of dysfunctions, from chronic pain and sports injuries to stroke and neurological impairment.
