Cranio-sacral therapy (CST) is an exceptionally gentle, non-invasive, but extremely powerful therapy. It is a profound healing treatment that can release deeply-held patterns of dysfunction that accumulate throughout life as a result of injury or illness.

 

It is suitable for every age, from new-born babies to the elderly, helping countless conditions.

The residual patterns remaining from illness, injury or emotional upheaval become embedded and held in the body tissues leading to later ill health. CST works on a physical and psychological level because it deals with the whole person and facilitates the body’s natural power of self-healing, allowing the body to change and let go from the inside, rather than being forced from the outside (no bone crunching involved!). Using a very light touch, it is often referred to as silent psychotherapy.
It can be of benefit to most people and can help in most conditions.

The Science Bit

CST was recognised more than 100 years ago through the research of an American osteopath—Dr. William Sutherland. He discovered that every cell in
the body expresses its own rhythmic motion, that the cranial (skull) bones have their own intrinsic movement and that the cerebral spinal fluid that serves to cushion and support the brain and spine also has its own rhythmic motion. This is known as the cranio-sacral motion and is expressed throughout the whole body.
Everyday physical knocks, bumps, trauma, shock and emotional stress cause the body’s tissues to contract and tighten up, manifesting in further tensions and restrictions in the body. These restrictions affect the flow and rhythmic motion of the bones and cells. With a gentle touch, a trained practitioner can detect this
motion and assess its strength and health. cranio-sacral rhythm is also known as “The Breath of Life”.

What to Expect?

The practitioner uses a light gentle comforting touch to treat and diagnose. Treatment takes place with the patient fully-clothed, lying on the treatment couch (or sitting if necessary) in a quiet, peaceful environment. The patient usually experiences profound relaxation physically, mentally and emotionally.
