Cranial Sacral (Cranio-Sacral) Therapy is a low risk, high benefit hands on form of manual therapy originating in Osteopathic studies.   It is extremely gentle, non-invasive and causes no adverse risks or side-effects. It is particularly suitable for the treatment of babies and children. CST is an Osteopathic technique and is not related to massage. Its basis is that the body has the knowledge to sell-correct.  As a practitioner,  I manually apply subtle movement to the connective tissue (fascia), spine and cranial bones to bring the Central Nervous System into harmony by assessing and treating the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The CSF can be restricted by any trauma from utero to birth and throughout life causing scar tissue and adhesions.  Treatment of this system allows for restrictions of nerve passages to be eased and movement of CSF is optimized.

This proper alignment helps protein, electrolytes, amino acids and other essential nutrients to be delivered throughout the body.  Pressures on the cranium during difficult childbirth create the potential for getting "stuck" and the use of interventions (surgical, chemical, c-section) greatly affect the infant's body and have a significant impact on the nervous system, thus affecting the body throughout time. Facilitating release of any restrictions will lead to a healthier and happier life.  It is highly effective on a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction. Ailments that are often resistant to conventional treatment may be alleviated.
