Craniosacral therapy (also called cranial-sacral therapy) is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on healing modality that focuses on the wave-like rhythmic pulse of craniosacral fluid that goes through the entire body. Craniosacral therapy can help with many conditions including chronic pain.

Craniosacral Therapy
CranioSacral massage, also known as Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST), is the practice of gentle, non-invasive, and subtle manipulation of the tissues and muscles surrounding the sacrum, skull, and spinal column.
The goal of CST is to normalize the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) along the entire spine. This restores the body’s natural ability to heal from illness or injury.
CSF bathes the brain and spinal cord, providing a route for the immune system to deliver nutrients to these vital structures. It also protects them from injury.
In addition to the physical benefits, craniosacral therapy often provides emotional stress relief.
Patients often seek this type of treatment for conditions including:
- Neck pain
- Migraines
- Insomnia (difficulty sleeping)
- Chronic sinus problems
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Depression
- Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Temporal-Mandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ)
Cranial-sacral therapy is a great choice for patients who can not tolerate other massage styles or chiropractic adjustments.
CST requires a professional, practiced hand to feel the subtle ebb and flow, or “pulse,” of fluid in the spinal column and remove blockages.
