Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on technique that uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of fluid in and around the brain and spinal cord. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and well being.

The focus of CST is to assist release of the body’s fascia. Fascia is a covering found throughout the body including around organs, glands, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, and the brain and spinal cord. This covering forms a body-wide connective network. CST is based on the idea that the body is interrelated at all levels.
