Are you looking for a gentle, hands-on method to help you relieve chronic pain, stress or tension-related disorders?
CranioSacral Therapy, a soft-touch bodywork technique that was developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger in the 1970s, works through using the body’s own self-correcting mechanisms rather than the application of physical force from the therapist.
During a session, practitioners release tensions and restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system only with a very light touch which is less than 5 grams. CranioSacral Therapy (CST) can improve your overall health alleviating blockages deep in the body complementing other massage treatments perfectly.

What are the benefits of CranioSacral Therapy?
The CranioSacral system consists of membranes and fluid that surround as well as protect our spinal cord and brain. When tensions are formed in the CranioSacral system due to stress, injuries, chronic pain or other disorders, they can cause restrictions and affect the healthy performance of our central nervous system.
In a CranioSacral Therapy session, the practitioner uses a light touch to evaluate the CranioSacral system. By first testing the ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid pulsing around the brain and spinal cord, the therapist can then release any restrictions in the soft tissues with the soft-touch technique.
The CranioSacral Therapy can be applied to a wide range of ailments including:
- Chronic back and neck pain
