CranioSacral Therapy was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E Upledger. He was a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics at the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University. While at University he tasked his exceptional team of to perform experiments to test the existence and influence of the craniosacral system. The results of those scientific studies explained the function of the craniosacral system and its use in evaluating and treating poorly understood malfunctions of the brain and spinal cord. Dr. Upledger went on to develop CranioSacral Therapy and other complementary modalities that are now taught world wide to health care professionals through Upledger Institute International educational programs

How it Works

01

Light Touch

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch approach that can create dramatic improvement in your life. It releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole body health. 

03

Stress

We endure stress and strain on our body and it is absorbed into our somatic system. Your body can only handle so much tension before the tissue starts to tighten and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord. When this occurs in compromises the function of the central nervous system and every other system in your body.

05

Increase Health 

CranioSacral Therapy has been shown to naturally reduce pain and stress, strengthen your resistance to disease and enhance your health and well being. This treatment is great for everyone no matter your age or condition because of its gentle approach. 

02

Central Nervous System

Few body structures have more influence over your health and well being than your central nervous system and the craniosacral system which is the soft tissues and fluid that protect your brain and spinal cord. 

04

Relief

CranioSacral Therapy releases those tensions to allow the entire body to relax and self correct. Using gentle touch, practitioners evaluate for strain patterns that are causing your body to hold tension and trauma. Releasing these restrictions allows your central nervous system to be free from tension and perform at its best. 

06

What Can I Expect?

This service is performed with you fully clothed in a quiet setting. Your therapist will check in with your body to monitor the rhythm of the flow of your central nervous system. Locating weak rhythm and the motion of your tissue to trace the source of dysfunction. With delicate manual techniques these areas are released bringing your central nervous system back into proper function. 

The Body is Self Correcting

The body as a innate ability to heal itself. CranioSacral Therapy helps facilitate and enhance your bodies own natural capacity to heal when trauma or disease overwhelms your bodies systems.
