Cranial Sacral Therapy

 Cranio-Sacral therapy is a subtle yet powerful technique which aims to release deeply held tension within the body caused by emotional or physical trauma of any kind. These trauma's have a habit of getting locked in our body, and can become obstacles to our healthy functioning. Primarily working with the core of the body ie the spine, spinal cord, and associated muscles/tissues, and also focusing on the nerve/energy centers; cranio-sacral therapy seeks to relax and realease from the inside outwards, and in the process remove these obstacles .
Through deep stillness the practitioner listens to the many subtle rhythms unfolding in the body,  whether its the deep tidal flow of fliud along the spine and midline of the body or the superficial twists and pulls of muscles and soft tissue. This listening creates a connection between patient/practitioner, through which the patients own inherent healing potential can be awakened and restrictions and blockages within the body can be released. CST seeks to unify the mind with the body, and through this unity act as a catalyst for the bodies healing intelligence to restore balance and function.
 
Because of the gentle nature of CST, it has become well known for the treatment of babies and small children. CST is very effective for dealing with and releasing birth trauma,  which is a common contributor to childhood problems like colic, asthma, sleeping difficulties and irritabilty/hyperactivity etc which can be released through CST before they become deeply ingrained and chronic patterns, causing unnecessary problems later in life.
