Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch form of bodywork designed to release physical and energetic restrictions from soft tissue, especially the fascia (connective tissue). Using a soft touch, generally no greater than 5 grams, practitioners release restrictions caused by accident, injury or emotional trauma thereby improving the physiological functioning of the entire body. 

CST is not massage, bony manipulation (chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation) or energy transfer (Reiki or Therapeutic Touch.)

The adult client typically rests on a table fully clothed. Children typically can receive therapy while quietly playing,or if old enough, on the table. 

The client may feel subtle sensation during the session as restrictions in the soft tissues release. Clients report feeling very relaxed during and after the session. Babies may become very quiet or even fall asleep. 

Body changes continue for up to four days after a typical session. 

After this four day re-organization process, the client often feels a definitive move toward resolution of the pain or dysfunction.

The number of sessions required for any given issue depends on the age of the problem, the severity of the accident or injury, the extent of involvement of the body, the level of stress in the client’s life, the specific areas of the body affected and the experience level of the therapist. 

Paula Croft attended Cranialsacral Therapy training by the Upledger Institute.
