What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle but potent way of working with the body using a light touch. It supports your body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself as well as helping to reduce stress and build underlying energy. It is suitable for everyone, from newly-born babies to the elderly.

Craniosacral therapy is now widely practiced around the world and continues to develop in popularity for a wide range of people. It is a gentle but potent way of working with the body using light touch. CST works with the whole person and changes may occur in body, mind and spirit during and after sessions.

When a practitioner places their hands lightly on you during a therapy session, they are using them to listen to you in much the same way that a counselor might listen to your words. Your body responds to this sensitive touch by beginning to listen to itself.  A feeling that you have been heard in the truest sense of the word is a common experience during and after a CST session.

Because it is so gentle and non-invasive, CST is suitable for everyone from newly-born babies to the elderly. Women often come during pregnancy, and mothers and their babies for problems associated with difficult or traumatic births. Letting go of tension and fear held in the body enables both mother and baby to settle into calmness.

CST supports your body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself, as well as helping to reduce stress and build your underlying energy. The practitioner senses tensions in the body and helps to release them in a supported and comfortable way. During or after a session you may feel calm and energised, with increased clarity of mind and a feeling of well-being.
