The CranioSacral System consists of the surrounding bones, membranes and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) that bathe and protect the brain and spinal cord. CSF is similar to blood but clear and it nourishes, protects and cleanses the central nervous system. CranioSacral Therapy (CST) helps release the tissues in and around the craniosacral system to enhance the flow of CSF. This calms and grounds the central nervous system and enhances the body’s natural healing processes.
For adults, CST is especially recommended for stress and anxiety, sleep problems, migraines and headaches, tinnitus and ear pain, equilibrium issues and burn out.
CST is very beneficial and soothing for newborns, babies and children. CST uses gentle and simple therapeutic techniques to help resolve any trauma related from the birth process, calms the nervous system and treats the structure for ideal function. Babies with colic, digestion issues, irritability, nursing issues, plagiocephaly (flat head), caesarian births, breeched births, difficult births, torticollis, etc benefit greatly from CST. It is also recommended for children with attachment issues, developmental delays, ear pain, autism, speech issues, down syndrome, learning disabilities, fears and anxieties, cerebral palsy, head aches, dental issues and dental work (braces).
CST is really so beneficial for all ages and creatures (including animals).
