Craniosacral Touch
Many of you know that I used to practice massage therapy (I still do for my family & close friends).
For the past 10 years, on top of massage sessions, I have received many sessions of Craniosacral therapy, and absolutely loved this light touch modality, its deep relaxation and health benefits.
Last year, I decided to dive into its study. It is pretty fascinating!
​
What is it about?
​
Craniosacral therapy was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics.
​
​
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 (from cranium to sacrum).
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 functioning of the central nervous system.
​
What Conditions is Craniosacral Touch suitable for?
​
By complementing the body's natural healing ability, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including but not limited to:
* Autism * Central Nervous System Disorders * Chronic Fatigue * Chronic Neck and Back Pain * Colic * Concussion * Emotional Difficulties * Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders * Infantile Disorders *Infertility * Learning Disabilities * Motor-Coordination Impairments * Neurovascular or Immune Disorders *Orthopedic Problems * Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Post-Surgical Dysfunction * Scoliosis * Stress and Tension-Related Problems * Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries *Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)...
​
As I am studying, I also need to practice a lot (I already do that with my close family & my studying group) and would love to welcome you for a free session.
A session takes place in a quiet setting. You remain fully clothed as you relax on a comfortable table. Each person is unique, so each session is unique. It lasts about 60 minutes.
