Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is an alternative medicine therapy in which our Practitioners work with your spine and skull and its fascia, diaphragms and cranial sutures to reduce stress and relieve pain.
Those who experience a First Hand Craniosacral Therapy Session may notice improvements in:
  • stress levels
  • migraines
  • back and neck pain
  • TMJ Syndrome
  • chronic fatigue
  • brain or spinal cord injuries
  • Scoliosis
  • ADD/ADHD
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Fibromyalgia
  • and a host of other conditions
The Upledger Method is a 10-step protocol which serves as the general guideline for Craniosacral therapy. These steps are:

1.    analysis of the base (existing) cranial rhythm
2.    creation of a still point in that rhythm at the base of the skull
3.    rocking the sacrum
4.    lengthening of the spine in the lumbar-sacral region
5.    working with the respiratory, thoracic and pelvic diaphragms
6.    releasing of the hyoid bone in the throat
7-10.   attending to each of the cranial bones

Our Practitioners use this guideline to tailor a Craniosacral therapy specific to your needs, so these steps may not all be performed or they may not be performed in sequential order. Our Practitioners also use their “thinking fingers” to become in tune with your body and its unique rhythm.

These steps allow:
  • the easement of restricted nerve passages
  • optimization of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord
  • the restoration of misaligned bones to their proper position

Come experience First Hand what Craniosacral therapy, performed by a licensed Practitioner, can do for you.
