Discover CranioSacral Therapy

for Cancer Support Treatment

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the body’s craniosacral system. The craniosacral system is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, CST naturally reduces pain and stress, strengthens resistance to disease and enhances health and well-being. Because it’s so gentle, CST has proven effective for all people of all ages.

What is CranioSacral Therapy?

A typical CST session is performed fully clothed on a comfortable padded table, or in a seated position. Through gentle touch, the therapist begins monitoring the rhythm of the fluid flowing around the central nervous system. Delicate manual techniques facilitate the release of restrictions in the body and head, thus improving the function of the central nervous system. The sessions are generally deeply relaxing, creating feelings of gentle pulsation, warmth and tissue release. A CST session can last a few minutes to over an hour. It can be used alone or integrated with other therapies to enhance well-being.

How is CST Performed?

CranioSacral Therapy is a whole-body approach that is intended to support the process and recovery from medical treatments.
