Craniosacral Therapy -CST was pioneered and developed
by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University,
where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics.
CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system
called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and
spinal cord.
Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release
restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure
for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain
and dysfunction, including:
Migraine Headaches
Chronic Neck and Back Pain
Autism
Central Nervous System Disorders
Orthopedic Problems
Learning Disabilities
Chronic Fatigue
Emotional Difficulties
Neurovascular or Immune Disorders
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
