Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on treatment used to evaluate and enhance the function of the craniosacral system. This is a physiological system made up of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.


The treatment aims to release restrictions in the body that affect the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve other systems in the body, such as the central nervous system, the digestive system and the musculoskeletal system. By facilitating the body’s natural healing processes, it is suitable for patients with a wide variety of health issues, such as:


  • Chronic Pain
  • Stress/Tension related problems
  • Migraine/Headache
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • TMJ (Jaw) pain
  • Traumatic Brain Injury and Concussion
  • Musculoskeletal pain.
