Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy

  • By Joaquina Cante
boulder healing hub

That’s right!  Take out some chill music and give your cranium a break with some CranioSacral Therapy.  Keep reading to see some of the great benefits this modality has to offer.

Following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, osteopathic physician John E. Upledger developed modern CranioSacral Therapy (CST) while serving as MSU’s Professor of Biomechanics and clinical researcher. CST is a gentle, hands-on healing technique that releases stress and tension from the head and spinal cord, enabling the entire body to relax deeply.

How Craniosacral Therapy Can Help You

CST is effective for a rather wide range of medical issues with associated pain and dysfunction, including:

  • Migraines
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Chronic Pain
  • PTSD
  • Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Stress and Tension-Related Problems
  • Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
  • Orthopedic Problems
  • Central Nervous System Disorders
  • Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries
  • Emotional Difficulties
  • Post-Surgical Dysfunction
  • Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders
  • Scoliosis
  • Neurovascular or Immune Disorders
  • Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia

The movement of the cerebrospinal fluid, palpable to the practitioner, informs and supports the gentle but powerful treatment. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is an effective, gentle, and safe method for understanding and affecting the subtle dimensions of human well-being.

“Biodynamic” refers to a branch of craniosacral therapy that is less manipulative than other forms of CST. Rather than trying to determine the client’s issue and move their tissues around, the practitioner intends to create a supportive environment so that the client’s system generates therapeutic change from within, using its wisdom, known as “the inherent treatment plan.”

Craniosacral Therapy involves gentle hands-on work that honors the client’s self-healing process. The intention is not to “fix” problems but rather to encourage new order levels in mind and body. The good news is there’s a practitioner right around the corner from you.
