Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle hands on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and wellness. CST addresses the body and the nervous system by tuning in to the body's innate rhythms. It's useful for treating musculoskeletal issues to gently release restrictions in movement to restore normal motion to the bones, joints and soft tissue. Using a soft touch, about the weight of a nickel, restrictions are released in the craniosacral system to promote relaxation and improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
