Using light touch on the head, sacrum, and energy pathways, practitioners subliminally help the client detect and clear blockages in the body created by trauma and other negative experiences.
A gentle treatment that focuses on the connection between the skull and the base of the spine along the spinal column. It promotes circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid.
Massage concentrated on head and neck.
gentle manipulation of the brain, spinal cord, bones of the skull, sacrum and interconnected membranes--to correct misalignments and distortions in the structure and function of the craniosacral mechanism that surrounds the central nervous system.
By gently manipulating the bones of the skull, practitioners seek to enhance the functioning of the CranioSacral system, a fluid circulatory system that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord. Practitioners of the Upledger method follow the teachings of Dr. John Upledger, based on his practice and research at the Michigan State University.
Gentle massage of the head and neck to release tension and restore balance.
Gentle manipulation technique somewhat similar to light massage that's aimed at freeing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Some believe impeded flow of this fluid can cause face pain.
This therapy is a system of full body evaluation and treatment that views the individual as an integrated whole and utilizes gentle, non-invasive techniques. The application of CST helps to enhance the body's innate healing abilities and is helpful for many conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, immune system diseases, neurologic disorders, TMJ, postural imbalances, and more.
Within the craniosacral system is the cerebrospinal fluid that moves in a slight but perceptible tide-like manner. Craniosacral therapists assist in facilitating change in areas of restriction where this tide-like motion is limited, confined, and immobilized. By using a gentle light touch, this fluid becomes more rhythmic and balanced, and the central nervous system is restored. Craniosacral therapy is helpful to those with nervous disorders, insomnia, and other problems. Craniosacral therapy was originally developed in the early 1900's by an osteopath name William G. Sutherland and later refined and promoted by Dr. John Upledger.
Developed originally by William Sutherland and developed further by Dr. John Upledger, CranioSacral Therapy is a manual therapeutic procedure for remedying distortions in the structure and function of the brain and spinal cord, the bones of the skull, the sacrum and interconnected membranes. It is used to treat chronic pain, migraine headaches, TMJ, and a range of other conditions. For decades, various forms of CranioSacral Therapy have been used to improve overall body functioning.
A manipulates the bones of the skull to treat a range of conditions, from headache to more chronic conditions. Cranial manipulation has been used to improve overall health and body functioning.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. It is used to treat a range of illnesses including; migraine, chronic neck and back pain, autism, colic, spinal chord injuries, learning disabilities, chronic fatigue, stress and emotional difficulties.
A manual therapeutic procedure used to remedy distortions in the structure and function of the craniosacral mechanism: the brain and spinal cord, the bones of the skull, the sacrum, and interconnected membranes. The procedure is used to treat chronic pain, migraine headaches, temporomandibular joint disease, and a range of other conditions and is performed by a range of licensed health practitioners.
Pioneered in the 1970's by Dr. John E. Upledger, Craniosacral therapy involves gently guiding and releasing tensions through very mild pressure on the different cranial bones near the sutures of the skull, where one bone lies next to another. Using a light touch generally no greater than the weight of a nickel, the practitioner uses this therapy to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, eliminate the negative effects of stress, strengthen resistance to disease and enhance overall health. Craniosacral Therapy is reported effective in treating headaches, chronic ear infection, deafness, sinusitis, facial pain, lower back pain, and more.
Massage therapy focusing on the head and neck.
CranioSacral Therapy uses very gentle pressure in normalizing the flow of cerebral spinal fluid in and around the brain and spinal cord. CST is quite relaxing and may be helpful in treating various conditions including headaches, ear infections, strokes and spinal cord injuries.
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach to balancing the craniosacral system, which is the environment in which the brain and spinal cord function. This type of manipulation encourages the body's natural healing mechanisms to bolster the central nervous system, dissolve stress, enhance health, and strengthen resistance to disease.
A therapy technique that addresses the subtle rhythm produced by the ebb and flow of the craniosacral fluid in the brain. Techniques focus on freeing restrictions and rebalancing the system.
The application of very mild pressure to the body's craniosacral system, which is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This includes the cranium-which is composed of the skull, face and mouth-and the "sacrum," or tailbone.
A non-invasive, gentle therapy which uses the craniosacral system of the body. This system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. The therapy uses the craniosacral system's rhythm to detect and balance restrictions that can cause pain and dysfunction throughout the body. Craniosacral Therapy has been used in conjunction with other therapies or when traditional therapies have proven ineffective. Craniosacral Therapy has been used in a wide range of cases from chronic symptoms to head or neck injuries following an accident. It can also be helpful for stress-related problems and various sensory disorders. The effects of Craniosacral Therapy remain controversial and have not been scientifically substantiated.
is a system that employs gentle manual body contact to palpate and interact with the patients cranio-sacral system. Practitioners believe that this is the primary physiological system which sustains and distributes the self-healing energies of the body. The action of the cranio-sacral system imparts a subtle but palpable rhythmic motion to the entire body structure.
Craniosacral therapy (also called CST, cranial osteopathy, also spelled CranioSacral therapy) is a method of alternative medicine used by massage therapists, chiropractors and osteopaths, who manually apply a subtle movement of the spinal and cranial bones to bring the central nervous system into harmony. This therapy involves assessing and addressing the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which can be restricted by trauma to the body, such as through falls, accidents, and general nervous tension. By gently working with the spine, the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia, the restrictions of nerve passages are eased, the movement of CSF through the spinal cord can be optimized, and misaligned bones can be restored to their proper position.
