Cranio-Sacral therapy is a development of Osteopathy, but using no manipulation. It focuses on the head, spine and sacrum and gently re-balances the internal rhythms of the whole body. The practitioner identifies through touch any stresses, tensions or traumas that may have been stored in the body as a result of physical illness or emotional upset. These restrictions are gently and safely released.
CST aids deep relaxation and calms the nervous system. CST is known for its work with babies and children – many childhood conditions can be traced back to stress at birth. For babies CST improves colic, eases pain and sleep problems, and increases in energy and well being. It is also helpful for a number of other conditions in people of all ages.
Conditions that this therapy can help include:
- Birth Trauma
- Chronic Fatigue
- Colic
- Anxiety and Depression
- Emotional problems
- Headaches
