CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

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 gentle nature of its work is a therapeutic and philosophical approach that is concerned with undoing habitual patterns in the body caused by accumulated tension and restoring the natural alignment of the body by working on the whole person rather than just the symptoms.

CST recognizes that within each of us there exists an innate wisdom that knows who we are, what makes us tick, and what is required to heal ourselves.

VISCERAL MANIPULATION

Visceral Manipulation is based on the specific placement of soft manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of the viscera and their connective tissues. These gentle manipulations can potentially improve the functioning of individual organs, the systems the organs function within, and the structural integrity of the entire body. The purpose of VM is to re-create, harmonize, and increase proprioceptive communication in the body to enhance its internal mechanism for better health, thereby revitalizing a person, and relieving symptoms of pain, dysfunction, and poor posture. Visceral Manipulation treats a person’s functional and structural imbalances with an aim to affect their musculoskeletal, vascular, nervous, urogenital, respiratory, digestive, and lymphatic dysfunction.
