Craniosacral Therapy
Discover the Power of Gentle Healing
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a non-invasive, light-touch therapy that restores and maintains health by supporting your body’s natural healing abilities. Rooted in osteopathy and enriched by advances in neuroscience, trauma resolution, and human development, CST addresses conditions stemming from stress, injury, and emotional overwhelm. At Remedial Wellness, our experienced practitioners use CST to help you achieve physical vitality, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Upledger Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that focuses on evaluating and enhancing the craniosacral system—comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Developed by Dr. John Upledger, this therapy uses light touch to release restrictions in the body, helping to relieve pain, reduce stress, and improve overall function.
CST is often used to support individuals with chronic pain, migraines, tension, TMJ disorders, post-concussion symptoms, and emotional trauma. By restoring balance to the nervous system, it encourages the body’s natural healing processes, promoting relaxation and well-being.
What to Expect During a Session
A typical CST session lasts 45 to 90 minutes. You’ll remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on a treatment table, as the practitioner creates a calm and supportive environment. Using a gentle touch, your practitioner listens to your body’s patterns and guides you in exploring sensations. CST principles focus on amplifying your body’s natural inclination toward health. Clients often notice physical releases, shifts in temperature, and a profound sense of relaxation and relief during and after the session.
What Makes CST Unique?
CST is a holistic therapy that works with the physical, fluid, and energetic systems of the body. Its focus on the nervous system allows for profound benefits, including reduced inflammation, improved tissue healing, and lower stress levels. By helping the nervous system return to a balanced state, CST also enhances immune function and supports overall health. Many clients report increased energy, mental clarity, and resilience after several sessions.
