CST is a light-touch manual therapy that releases tensions held deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health.
Your body is subjected to stress every day, but it can only tolerate so much tension before your tissues begin to tighten. This has potential to impact the brain and spinal cord (nervous system). CranioSacral Therapy releases those tensions, allowing the body to relax and self-correct.
CranioSacral Therapy is so gentle it is appropriate for all ages, although this clinic works with individuals 10 years and older.
Conditions that CST can be used to treat are:
Migraines and Headaches
Chronic Neck and Back Pain
Stress and Tension-Related Disorders
Brain injuries
Chronic Fatigue
Fibromyalgia
TMJ Syndrome
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Orthopedic Problems
A CST session takes place in a quiet room where you remain fully clothed while relaxing on a comfortable, padded table.
Have you injured your back/neck/knee/shoulder etc. at work? Skiing? Or simply getting out of bed? These are all areas our Physical Therapist (PT) is well versed in treating. Our PT will complete a comprehensive evaluation of not just the body part, but how the rest of the body is moving in relation to your injured joint. In this way a full picture is created of the injury and its impact on the rest of the body. From here, a program is designed with your specific goals and limitations in mind to return you to your normal activities while taking into account your busy lifestyle.
Flexibility prevents injury, as does having a strong core. Being proactive about stretching and gaining core strength is key in preventing injury and allowing you to lead a pain-free, active lifestyle. Schedule your private session(s) now with our Physical Therapist to learn how to effectively stretch and strengthen to prevent injury.
