What is CranioSacral Therapy?

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on style of bodywork that employs light-touch manipulations to adjust and mobilize bones of the cranium and spine; and release restrictions in connective tissue throughout the body.  Light-touch means 5-20 grams of pressure or traction in manual therapy techniques.

Typical effects include an immediate decrease in pain, improvement in function, increase in mental clarity, relief from effects of stress, and a profound sense of inner peace. 

 

Appropriate for all ages (my youngest client was 45 minutes old at the time), see how this gentle bodywork can help YOU feel so much better IN your body!

 

I am an Upledger Certified CranioSacral Therapist, in practice since 2002.  Also a Certified Teaching Assistant for the Upledger Institute. I provide mentoring, and have taught CranioSacral Therapy at the East West Healing Arts Institute in Milwaukee.
