A complement to the body's natural healing process
excerpted from the Upledger Institute: |
| "Craniosacral Therapy (CST) was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics. |
| "CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord." |
When there is an imbalance in your craniosacral system, your brain and spinal cord can suffer. These organs are the core of your being. Without them, senses, emotions and motor functions would not be capable of working effectively. Craniosacral therapy involves the manipulation of the skull bones (cranium) and the sacrum (a bone between the lumbar vertebrae and tail vertebrae). The applied pressure by the therapist is minimal: about the weight of a nickel. The therapist, through manipulation, strives to restore the symmetry of the craniosacral rythmical motion throughout the body.
CST is effective when treating:
| • Migraine
Headaches • Chronic Neck and Back Pain • Motor-Coordination Impairments • Colic • Autism • Central Nervous System Disorders • Orthopedic Problems • Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries • Scoliosis • Infantile Disorders |
• Learning Disabilities |
