The craniosacral system refers to the area that houses the brain and the spinal cord, which includes the skull, face, mouth, spinal column and sacrum. Over time, trauma to the body through falls, emotional and psychological stresses, toxicity and general nervous tension can adversely impact the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that enclose and connect this area ultimately affecting the performance of nearly every aspect of the central nervous system and potentially resulting in sensory, motor and intellectual dysfunctions.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, light-touch approach that works the spine, skull, diaphragms and fascia to ease the restrictions on nerve passages and optimize the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. This therapy is especially beneficial in treating mental stress, migraines, neck and back pain, TMJ Syndrome, and chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and other connective-tissue disorders. CST also can be used to bolster resistance to disease and to create the optimal conditions for health making it suitable for people of all ages, including babies, children and the elderly.
