CranioSacral Therapy (CST)

CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of treatment which supports your body's own natural healing abilities.  It comes out of the tradition of osteopathy in the US and was developed by John Upledger, DO in the 1970s.

CST is performed using light touch (mostly on the head, torso, and tailbone areas) to assess the balance and functioning of your central nervous system and the craniosacral system.

CST techniques encourage whole body relaxation and release pain and restrictions caused by old injuries, new injuries, or physical or emotional trauma.  CranioSacral Therapy is also an excellent tool to help maintain good health and bolstering your immune system.

Because of its gentle nature, CST can be effective for an extraordinarily broad range of medical conditions and is suitable for almost everyone.  It  is gentle enough for babies, the elderly, and anyone suffering from acute physical or emotional pain. 

CST is a natural complement to acupuncture and we often combine the two in treatment sessions at 6 Harmonies for a more effective and complete health care approach.
