Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

What is Craniosacral Therapy (CST)?

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on healing practice that focuses on the craniosacral system, which encompasses the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Developed by Dr. John Upledger in the 1970s, CST seeks to enhance the body’s natural healing abilities by alleviating tension and restrictions within this crucial system.

Craniosacral Therapy

The CST Process:

  • Comprehensive Assessment: At Samshudhi, the journey begins with a detailed assessment of your physical and emotional health. Our therapists take the time to discuss your medical history and specific concerns, ensuring a tailored approach.
  • Gentle Touch Techniques: Using a light touch—often described as the weight of a nickel—our skilled therapists assess the craniosacral system. They tune into the subtle rhythms of your body to identify areas of tension or restriction.
  • Targeted Release Techniques: Once areas of concern are pinpointed, our therapists gently manipulate the craniosacral system to facilitate the release of tension. This may involve holding specific areas, light stretching, or other soft tissue techniques, all designed to promote healing.
  • Integration Period: After the release, you’ll have time to rest and allow your body to integrate the changes. We may encourage deep breathing or visualization to enhance the healing process.
  • Ongoing Support: Each session at Samshudhi typically lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. Afterward, our therapists will share their insights and recommend self-care practices to support your ongoing well-being.

    • Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy:

  • Pain Management: Many clients find relief from chronic pain conditions, including migraines, back pain, and fibromyalgia.
  • Stress Reduction: CST promotes deep relaxation and can significantly reduce anxiety, helping to restore balance to the nervous system.
  • Improved Mobility: By addressing restrictions, CST can enhance your range of motion and overall physical function.
  • Emotional Clarity: The gentle nature of CST allows for the release of stored emotions, fostering mental clarity and emotional resilience.
  • Holistic Support: CST is often a complementary therapy for various health concerns, including PTSD, autism spectrum disorders, and TMJ dysfunction.
