What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that focuses on the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This therapy uses light touch — often no heavier than the weight of a nickel — to encourage the natural healing process by releasing tension in the central nervous system. By gently manipulating areas around the skull, spine, and sacrum, CST aims to restore balance to the craniosacral rhythm, which can reduce pain, alleviate tension, and enhance overall wellness.


During a craniosacral therapy session, the therapist identifies and releases restrictions in the craniosacral system. This therapy is effective for a variety of conditions, including migraines, chronic pain, stress-related disorders, and nervous system imbalances. Unlike other forms of massage, CST is non-invasive and deeply relaxing, often resulting in a profound sense of calm and rejuvenation.

Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy (CST) offers a distinctive set of benefits, particularly for those seeking a holistic approach to healing and balance. One of its key advantages is pain relief and tension reduction. By gently releasing tension in the craniosacral system, CST can help alleviate common issues such as headaches, neck pain, and back pain. Additionally, CST enhances nervous system function by balancing the craniosacral rhythm, which can have a calming effect on the central nervous system and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Many clients also experience improved sleep quality after sessions, as the therapy promotes deep relaxation and eases both mental and physical tension.

Beyond relaxation, CST supports immune system health by encouraging lymphatic flow and improving blood circulation, helping the body maintain optimal immune function. The therapy is also known to improve focus and mental clarity, making it especially beneficial for those struggling with stress or cognitive challenges. Lastly, craniosacral therapy facilitates emotional release and relaxation, providing clients with a space to process and let go of stored stress or trauma, leading to a profound sense of emotional well-being.
