Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
Introduction to Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that focuses on the craniosacral system—comprising the cerebrospinal fluid, meninges, cranial bones, and sacrum. It aims to release restrictions in this system to improve physiological function, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being.
Key Treatment Modalities in CST
- Palpation & Light Touch Techniques
- Practitioners use subtle touch (about 5 grams of pressure) to detect and release restrictions in the craniosacral rhythm.
- Focus areas include the skull, spine, diaphragm, and pelvis.
- Fascial Release Techniques
- Gentle manipulation of the fascia to relieve tension and improve mobility.
- SomatoEmotional Release (SER)
- Addresses emotional trauma stored in body tissues, facilitating deep healing.
- Visceral Manipulation
- Works on internal organs to improve mobility and nerve function.
- Energy Cyst Release
- Releases trapped energy from past physical or emotional injuries.
- Advanced Techniques (Latest Innovations)
- Bio-Tensegrity Focus: Integrates principles of tensegrity (tension + integrity) to enhance structural balance.
- Dynamic Stillness Technique: Encourages deep relaxation and self-correction of the body.
- iListen Technology Integration: Uses biofeedback to assess craniosacral rhythm more precisely.
Clinical Outcomes of CST
- Pain Relief: Effective for migraines, TMJ disorders, chronic neck/back pain.
- Stress & Anxiety Reduction: Regulates the autonomic nervous system.
- Improved Neurological Function: Helps with concussions, PTSD, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
- Enhanced Immune Function: Promotes lymphatic drainage and detoxification.
- Post-Surgical Recovery: Accelerates healing by reducing scar tissue adhesions.
