Craniosacral Therapy (CST)...
dates back to the late 1800's. It is a gentle method
of detecting and correcting the affects which stress, trauma and illness
have upon our brain, central and our autonomic nervous systems.
The craniosacral system consists of delicate membranes (the Dura)
and cerebrospinal fluid that cover and protect the brain and spinal
cord. Enveloping the bones of the face, skull and mouth, these
membranes extend down the spinal canal, anchoring above the tail bone,
upon the sacrum. The significance of the Dura is that it possesses
only 7 centimeters (approximately 3-3.5 inches) of flexibility or
slack. In the presence of structural malalignments, poor posture
and curvatures of the spine, this slack is diminished, creating significant
tension and compression of the Dura. The side effect is increased
brain, spinal cord and cranial bone compression. The craniosacral
system operates on the principles of hydraulics. Cerebrospinal
fluid fills or empties within the brain every 6 seconds of the day.
Disturbances, imbalances or compression forces within the hydraulic
system can potentially cause any number of sensory, motor or neurologic
disabilities or disorders. The gentle nature of CST encourages
the body's inherent healing and self correction capabilities to alleviate
the destructive effects that stress and dysfunction play upon our
skeletal, central and autonomic nervous systems. Conditions
that have respond well to CST:
- Any & all head injuries
- Migraines & Headaches
- Motor Coordination Impairments
- Birth Trauma & Infantile Disorders
- Chronic Fatigue
- Spinal Conditions/Curvatures
- ADD, ADHD,& Learning Disabilities
- Tempromandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
- Central/Autonomic Nervous System Disorders
