Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is often used to alleviate chronic pain, including headaches, migraines, neck pain, back pain, and fibromyalgia. It has been helpful in managing POTS/dysautonomia and Lyme’s Disease symptoms.

Stress and Anxiety Reduction: The gentle touch and focus on the body’s rhythms can induce a deep state of relaxation, which can significantly reduce stress and anxiety. Some studies suggest it may help regulate the autonomic nervous system, shifting it from a “fight or flight” response to a more calm and centered state.

Improved Emotional Well-being: By releasing physical tension, especially that which may be held in the body due to emotional trauma, CST can contribute to improved mood and emotional balance.

Better Sleep: Many individuals find that the relaxation and stress reduction benefits of CST lead to improved sleep quality and can help with insomnia.

Support for the Central Nervous System: Proponents believe that by optimizing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and releasing restrictions, CST can support the overall functioning of the central nervous system.

Non-Invasive and Gentle: CST is a very gentle therapy, making it suitable for people of all ages, including infants and the elderly, and those who may be sensitive to more vigorous treatments.

Holistic Approach: CST views the body as an interconnected system, aiming to promote self-regulation and self-healing, rather than just treating isolated symptoms.
