CranioSacral Therapy For All Ages
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle restorative approach that helps release tension, calm the nervous system, and support whole-body balance. Using light touch tequniques, CST works with the natural rhythm of the CranioSacral system, the soft tissues, membranes, and fluids surrounding the brain & spinal cord. This supports the body's ability to heal and regulate. CST can help relieve stress, headaches, muscle tightness, fatigue, and much more.
CranioSacral therapy is a gentle hands-on approach that supports the function of the nervous system. For infants and children, this light touch technique helps release tension and restore balance within the body. CranioSacral therapy treatments support sleep, digestion, feeding, developmental milestones, and overall comfort.
