CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle massage that focuses on the head, using a light touch and acupressure points to evaluate and enhance the functioning of a physiological body system, called the craniosacral system, which is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This system of therapy is designed to release tension and restore the balance of energy by restoring blocked connections between the head, spinal cord and body. Since only the head is involved, it's an ideal starter treatment for those who do not want a full body massage. By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive measure and treatment for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including; migraine headaches, chronic pain, immune disorders and various stress disorders. CranioSacral therapy was discovered and developed by osteophatic physician, John E. Upledger, after several scientific studies from 1975 through 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a faculty member.
