CST
WHAT IS CST?
Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) has its roots in osteopathy and is a holistic body treatment. It is very gentle and aims to relax the body so that it can find its way back to optimum health. We all understand that if our bodies and minds are under stress then they do not work as efficiently. Health issues can occur as stress takes over. CST offers the body and mind a chance to find health through relaxing the whole system. This can work on many levels during a treatment and is often felt by patients as the body physically and mentally relaxing into a deep sense of spaciousness.
HOW?
The treatment involves a light contact, mainly around the head (cranium) and contacts along the spine, down to the base (sacrum). You remain fully clothed whilst lying on a massage couch.
CST is used to treat many ailments and conditions, and can be especially effective for things such as; tinnitus, vertigo, inner ear conditions, ibs, migraines, insomnia, and hormonal problems including fertility. It can also be very beneficial for trauma and PTSD by helping the body to let go of ingrained traumatic holding patterns.
CST can be used to treat conditions but can also be used as part of a regular self care plan. It is extremely restorative and is very beneficial for the Central Nervous System.
I may sometimes work in a more physical way using facial unwinding - this is very beneficial for the skeletal system and can help with old injuries, RSI, tennis elbow etc.
Your first CST treatment will start with a thorough consultation so that we can chat about what has brought you to find this treatment.
I offer a safe and confidential space to talk openly.
