Craniosacral therapy focuses on the gentle placement of hands to help relieve tension in the body’s connective tissue, thus enhancing the body’s own healing capabilities

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle yet profound non-invasive touch therapy for the whole body. Its gentle, hands-on approach releases tension and improves the function of the craniosacral system—the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It helps the triune automatic nervous system into a restorative state and optimizes the ‘repair and replenish’ function enabling an ease into a better state of health. Developed by osteopathic physician Dr John Upledger, CST involves light touches on specific areas of the head, spine, and pelvis to enhance the body's natural healing processes. It is used to address various physical and emotional conditions, particularly those related to chronic pain and stress, promoting overall relaxation, pain relief, and improved nervous system function.

Common conditions treated with craniosacral therapy include:

  • Chronic pain (e.g., headaches, migraines, neck and back pain)
  • Stress-related disorders and anxiety
  • Sleep disturbances and insomnia
  • Trauma recovery (e.g., PTSD, emotional trauma)
  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
  • Neurological conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome)
  • Latching, breastfeeding, colic and sleep problems in babies (often caused by birth trauma)

Treatments that complement craniosacral therapy:

  • Therapeutic massage
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine
  • Homeopathy
  • Osteopathy
