CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy
CST 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.
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.
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:
- Migraine Headaches
- Chronic Neck and Back
Pain

Impairments
