Gentle touch and light holds are applied to different parts of the body.

This can assist the body in adjusting any imbalances there may be and can soothe pain and release both emotional and physical stress and tension.

Relaxation has long been valued for its healing and restorative effects on the body and encouraging deep states of relaxation in the body is easily facilitated by Craniosacral therapy. The main centers of the nervous system lie in the cranial and sacral regions and the gentle manipulations of CST modulate the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, optimizing the function of both. Craniosacral therapy is useful as both a primary treatment method or as part of a treatment programme, combined with other traditional or complementary techniques. The vast majority of conditions are safe to be treated with craniosacral therapy.

In conclusion the aim of CST is to assist and support the body as it heals itself and to optimize its functional level.
