CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
It began many years ago when a team of anatomists, physiologists, biophysicists and bio-engineers began performing experiments to test the existence and influence of the craniosacral system. These studies led to the creation of CST, or CranioSacral Treatment and other complementary modalities that are now taught worldwide to healthcare professionals through the Upledger Institute International's educational programs.

CST is a light touch approach that can create dramatic improvements in your life. It can release tensions deep in your body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance.
• A typical CST session take place in a quiet, private setting. You remain fully-clothed as you relax on a comfortable, padded table. • Mrs. Dreher begins by gently touching various parts of your head and body to monitor the rhythm of the fluid that is flowing around your central nervous system. • By carefully listening with the hands to locate ares of weak fluid flow or tissue motion, your practitioner can trace those areas of weakness through the body to the original source of dysfunction. • Delicate manual techniques are used to release those problem areas, and improve the form and function of your central nervous system. • What you experience is highly individual. Sessions are generally deeply relaxing, creating feelings of warmth or gentle pulsing in the areas the therapist is working on. |
the body is a self- correcting mechanism.
The human body has an innate ability to heal itself. Some refer to this as the Inner Physician. When the skin is lacerated, this self-correcting mechanism responds with an elaborate process to close the skin. Immune responses and inflammatory responses are also indicative of the body's self healing abilities. CranioSacral Therapy involves facilitating or enhancing the body's own natural capacity to heal when trauma or disease processes become overwhelming for the system.
