CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle,
hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of a physiological body
system called the CranioSacral system.
The CranioSacral system is
comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid which form the fluid-filled
sac around the core of the nervous system - surrounding, nourishing, and
protecting the brain and spinal cord. Like the pulse of the cardiovascular
system, the CranioSacral system has a rhythm that can be felt throughout the
body.
Using a touch generally no heavier than the
weight of a small coin, skilled practitioners can monitor this rhythm at key
body areas to pinpoint the source of an obstruction or stress. Once a source has
been determined, they can assist the natural movement of the fluid and related
soft tissue to help the body self-correct. This simple action is often all it
takes to remove a restriction. Other times, CST may be combined with other
complementary therapies to help restore the body to it's optimum functioning
level.
The far
reaching effects of Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) have been found to be
useful in improving a wide scope of conditions (if due to membranous or
osseous restrictions within the cranial-sacral system. Some of the
conditions affected by or caused by these restrictions would include Sensory
Regulation, Attention/Focusing problems, Hyperactivity, Autism,
Communication Disorders, Emotional lability, Emotional tone, Abberant
behavior, Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, Dyscalclia (math problems),
Spasticity, Muscular imbalances, Chronic Pain, Headaches, Digestive
problems, Problems of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system,
Fibromyalgia, TMJ (jaw) pain, Post-operative adhesions, Allergies, Vertigo,
both high and low Blood pressure problems, Multiple Sclerosis, Menstral and
Menopausal Problems, Arthritis (both types) and more.
