“Every treatment should be dictated by the wisdom of the patient’s own body.” –
John E. Upledger
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Cranio Sacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful holistic treatment originating from osteopathy. It can relieve pain, tensions, stress, anxiety, restrictions and trauma from the body, recalibrating your nervous system for deep, long-lasting healing.
Whilst the respiratory and cardiovascular rhythms are widely known, the third more subtle CranioSacral system is deeply integral to health of the entire body, nervous system and all its functions. CST can be effective for many conditions (see list below), working to rebalance the various structures within the cranium, sacrum, fluids and membranes along the spine. It can be especially helpful to release trauma patterns in ways that talk therapy may not reach.
Who can benefit?
Craniosacral therapy is suitable for everyone, from newborn babies to the elderly. It can be applied during pregnancy, postpartum, after surgery, an accident or in fragile conditions.
Below are some conditions that may respond well to CST..

Dental pain
Depression/anxiety
Digestive issues
Emotional difficulties
Lethargy/chronic fatigue

How does it work?
Treatments are carried out with the patient fully clothed lying down on the couch. Each treatment unfolds as a subtle dialogue with the intelligence of the patient’s body and central nervous system through a gentle but yet precise touch from the therapist. Connecting with the CranioSacral System allows the body to access very deep, restful states of the parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for rest, digest and healing.) As a result conscious or unconscious patterns created in response to injury or stress can be gently released. The process is deeply relaxing and will leave you feeling more open and calm.
