                                            Craniosacral therapy (CST) is becoming increasingly recognized as one of the most powerful natural therapies, penetrating deep into the central nervous system, releasing long-standing patterns of tension and trauma.
Underlying the profound and very gentle nature of its work, is a therapeutic and philosophical approach. 
CST is concerned with undoing habitual patterns in the body caused by accumulated tension, and restoring the natural alignment of the body. 
CST work on the whole person rather than the symptoms, seeking a higher level of psycho-physical integration and with the concept of “non-doing” which require sensitive listening/palpation skills and for the therapist to be fully present to the patterns held in the client’s body for any change to occur. 
How does CranioSacral Therapy Work?
Few structures have as much influence over the body's ability to function properly as the brain and spinal cord that make up the central nervous system. And, the central nervous system is heavily influenced by the craniosacral system - the membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord. 
Every day your body endures stresses and strains that it must work to compensate for. Unfortunately, these changes often cause body tissues to tighten and distort the craniosacral system. These distortions can then cause tension to form around the brain and spinal cord resulting in restrictions. This can create a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system, and potentially every other system it interacts with. 
CST balances the nervous system by calming & releasing restrictions held in the sympathetic nervous system (flight or fight) and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest).
Our nervous system innervates our whole system and any restriction in our nervous system is usually the root cause of illness or pain.
Fortunately, such restrictions can be detected and corrected using simple methods of touch. 
With a light touch, the CST practitioner uses his or her hands to evaluate the craniosacral system by gently feeling various locations of the body to test for the ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospina
