CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
 CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on treatment which improves health through enhancement of the craniosacral system by treating and addressing connective tissue restrictions. It is a soothing and gentle method that encourages your own healing mechanisms to release the negative effects of stress on your central nervous system, providing benefits of improved health and well-being.
The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid which surround the brain and spinal cord. It extends from the skull to the tailbone area. The cerebrospinal fluid has its own rhythm and pulse and is referred to as the craniosacral rhythm. When you suffer physical or emotional trauma the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid may get out of rhythm. Problems can arise when there are imbalances in the rhythm or if there are restrictions in the membranes, both of which can have adverse effects on the nervous system.
So how does CST work? By paying close attention to the intelligence of the craniosacral rhythm, Terri can evaluate where there are restrictions in the body's tissues. This includes the structures of the craniosacral system as well as the connective tissues, muscles, joints and organs throughout the body. She uses a light pressure to carefully release the restrictions, while at the same time assisting the craniosacral rhythm to resume its natural movement through the area so healthy functioning can be restored.
CranioSacral treatments are received fully clothed on a massage table. During the treatment, Terri uses her hands to feel the symmetry, quality, amplitude and rate of the rhythm and then follows a protocol to work with the client's system to allow for gentle releases and corrections. Some experiences the client may have during a session may include sensations of heat being released, gentle movements of the head or body, energy movement, or sometimes an area may begin to gently pulse. When tissues release long held tension patterns, sometimes there is a noticeable "unlocking" or "unwinding" sensation. The general feeling of CST for most people is one of deep rest, relaxation and renewal.
CranioSacral Therapy strengthens your body's ability to do what it does best...take care of you. Soothe your body and mind with a gentle, renewing CST treatment. You're worth it!
