What Is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on treatment that supports the body’s natural healing ability. Suitable for all ages, it works by releasing deep tension within the body to help reduce pain, relieve dysfunction, and promote a sense of overall wellbeing.

This therapy focuses on the craniosacral system—the membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. By working with this subtle rhythm, CST can restore balance to the nervous system, support whole-body health, and enhance physical performance.

By facilitating the body’s natural and innate healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventative healthcare measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease and having an impact on clients quality of life and their health.

Reasons People Seek Craniosacral Therapy

Unlike massage therapy, it doesn’t involve deep pressure or working on muscle tissue. Instead, it uses light touch to listen to the body, encouraging it to unwind in its own time. People often come in for headaches, stress, jaw pain, or after an injury, but sometimes they’re just looking for space to reset. It’s not about fixing you—it’s about creating the conditions for your body to do what it already knows how to do: heal.
