craniosacral therapy

The craniosacral system is a recognised physiological motion that is intimately related to, influences and is influenced by the nervous, musculoskeletal, circulatory, lymphatic, endocrine, immune and respiratory systems.

Characterized by rhythmic, mobile activity which persists throughout life, the craniosacral system is distinct from other physiological motions such as breathing and cardiovascular activity. The rhythm can be palpated most readily on the cranium (skull) and sacrum (base of the spine); a practitioners developed palpatory skills can perceive this motion anywhere on the body.

The gentle, therapeutic contact of craniosacral therapy (CST) listens for and follows the rhythm of the craniosacral system; helping our body to completely relax, until it becomes so deeply immersed in stillness that areas contracted with accumulated tension and stress can spontaneously release, returning valauble energy to the body’s different systems, simply enabling them to work more efficiently together.
