Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system, comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch generally no greater than five grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, those specifically relating to headache include:
Migraine Headaches
Chronic Neck and Back Pain
Stress and Tension-Related Problems
Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
Central Nervous System Disorders
Chronic Fatigue
Emotional Difficulties
Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Scoliosis
Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
