Craniosacral Therapy Whitby
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of the craniosacral system – which is comprised of membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch, generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the function of the central nervous system.
By complementing the body’s natural healing process, CST is increasingly used as a preventative health measure for its ability to boost resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
- Migraine headaches
- Chronic neck and back pain
- Motor-coordination impairments
- Colic
- Autism
- Central nervous system disorders
- Orthopedic problems
- Scoliosis
- Infantile disorders
- Learning disabilities
- Chronic fatigue
- Emotional difficulties
- Stress and tension related issues
- Fibromyalgia and other connective-tissue disorders
- Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
- Neurovascular or immune disorders
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Post-Surgical dysfunction
The craniosacral system (a physiological system like the cardiovascular and respiratory systems) provides the physical environment in which the brain and spinal cord develop and function. The light-touch technique works with natural and unique rhythms of our different body systems to pinpoint and correct source problems.
