A typical CranioSacral Therapy session takes lace in a quiet, private setting. You remain fully clothes as you relax o a comfortable, padded table. Your therapist begins by gently touching various parts of your head and body to monitor the rhythm of the fluid that is flowing around your central nervous system. By careflly listening with the hands to locate areas of weak fluid flow or tissue motion, your practitioner can trace those areeas of weakness through the body to the original source of dysfunction. Delicate manual techniques are then used to release those problem areas, and improve the form and function of your central nervous system. A CranioSacral Therapy session can last up to an hour or more. It can be used alone or integrated with other therapies to facilitate powerful changes. What you experience from your own session is highly individual. The sessions are generally deeply relaxing, creating feelings of warmth or gentle pulsing in the areas the therapist is working on. 

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch approach that can create dramatic improvements in your life. It releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction, and improve whole-body health and performance. Few body structures have more influence over your health and well-being than your central nervous system. And few body systems have more impact on yur central nervous system than the craniosacral system-the soft tissues and fluid that protect your brain and spinal cord. You endure stresses and strains, and your body absorbs them. But your body can only handle so much tension before the tissues begin to tighten, and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord. Unfortunately, this can compromise the function of the central nervous system and nearly every other system in your body. CST releases those tensions to allow the entire body to relax and self-corrct. Using a gentle touch, starting with about the weight of a nickel, practitioners evaluate you for strain patterns. Then they use distinctive light-touch techniques to release any restrictions they find. By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, CST has been shown to naturally reduce pain and stress, srengthen your resistance to disease and enhance your health and well-being. And because it's so gentle, CST has been shown to be effective for all ages, from newborns to elders.
