Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on technique developed by osteopath Dr. John Upledger in the 1970s. It focuses on manipulating the cranial bones, spine, and sacrum to alleviate tension and promote relaxation throughout the body. During a session, therapists apply subtle pressure to different areas of the head, spine, and pelvis to release restrictions in the craniosacral system—the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. CST aims to restore balance to this system, enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Suitable for all ages, CST is known for its gentle approach and is used to address a variety of conditions, including headaches, chronic pain, stress-related disorders, and musculoskeletal issues.
