CranioSacral Therapy - Its Benefits

CST was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physicians 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.

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of a physiological body system call the cranioscaral system – comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord.

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.

By complementing the body’s natural healing processes, 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
