CranioSacral Therapy

A light-touch, whole-body treatment technique developed by Dr. John E. Upledger, DO, OMM in the 1970's during his research at Michigan State University. This gentle therapy works with the craniosacral system (the semi-closed hydraulic system composed of the dural membranes which envelop the brain and spinal cord and enclose the cerebral spinal fluid) to release tension in connective tissue and balance the central nervous system thus improving overall health and well-being. It is a complementary method of hands-on bodywork which gently addresses the natural and unique rhythms of the different body systems to find and address problem sources. CST helps to alleviate the aches, pains and strains of life; improves coping mechanisms to allow for better management of stress. It improves the body’s ability to self-correct and can produce profound, positive changes. More information can be found at http://www.upledger.com.
