Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy & Osteopathy

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on osteopathic therapy developed by John Upledger in the 1970s. It works with the craniosacral system, which consists of the central nervous system and all the surrounding membranes and fluid around the brain. The therapist uses light touches to create rhythmic pulsations and helps the body improve naturally.

CST is thought to help relieve head, neck, and back constraints. It can help soothe pain and get rid of both physical and emotional stress and tension as well. It is also thought to help restore cranial motion and ease the head, neck, and nervous limitations. 

Craniosacral therapy may be offered to people of all ages. It may also be prescribed as a portion of the treatment for conditions like the following:

  • Migraines & Headaches

  • Bowel Movements

  • Chronic Pain 

  • Ear Infections Or Colic In Infants

  • Trauma Recovery 

  • Anxiety Or Depression

  • Pregnancy Issues

  • Insomnia

  • Scoliosis

  • Sinus Infections

  • etc

How does the treatment work?

During our first session I will take a written case history, listening with care to the reasons for your visit. This part of the session is important, both for gathering information and to establish a good understanding each other. The session typically lasts an 60-90 min, although it can vary. You remain clothed and will usually lie face up or on your side, or you may be seated. I make light contact with your head, the base of your spine and other areas, encouraging your body to relax and begin to make the changes it needs. Because the body functions as a whole, I may focus on areas other than where your symptoms occur. 

During and after the session, people may experience different sensations, including:

  • Feeling so relaxed you fall asleep
  • Feeling as though you've entered a meditative state
  • Feeling as though you're dreaming even when wide awake
  • Recalling different memories while being treated
  • Feeling a sense of warmth and softness or as if you're floating
  • Feeling relaxed and energized simultaneously
  • Deeper breathing

In the longer term

After a session there is occasionally a short period of adjustment as part of the healing process, when you may become more aware of symptoms. Sometimes people report relief after only one or two sessions. For long-standing problems further sessions may be needed. Some people find they benefit from regular treatment over an extended period and say that, as well as noticing improvement in their physical or emotional symptoms, they feel they have increased self-awareness and improved quality of life.

Are there any instances to avoid CST? 

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a manual therapy believed to help improve the body's natural healing processes and treat various conditions. However, there are some instances in which CST should not be used. These include cases where the patient has a fever, infection, or an active bleeding disorder.
