Cranio- Sacral Therapy

Cranio-Sacral Therapy (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, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.

​

By facilitating the body's natural and innate healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for helping people with a wide range of healthcare challenges associated with pain and dysfunction, including:

​

• Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia

• Autism

• Central Nervous System Disorders

• Chronic Fatigue

• Chronic Neck and Back Pain

• Colic

• Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries

• Emotional Difficulties

• Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders

• Infantile Disorders

• Learning Disabilities

• Migraine Headaches

• Motor-Coordination Impairments

• Neurovascular or Immune Disorders

• Orthopedic Problems

• Post-Surgical Dysfunction

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

• Scoliosis

• Spinal Cord Injuries

• Stress and Tension-Related Problems

• Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)

 

Somato-Emotional Release (SER) is a therapeutic process that uses and expands on the principles of Cranio-Sacral Therapy to help rid the mind and body of the residual effects of trauma. SER1 offers applications designed to enhance results using CST and other complementary therapies.

• Locate and release Energy Cysts.

• Release suppressed emotions that may be inhibiting complete structural releases.
