CST can help manage - anxieties - chronic pain conditions such as migraines and headaches, and back pain - long-term illness and nurture a new sense of bodily well-being by finding new stability and ease, - recover from surgery, anaesthetic and medicines, and managing the body’s reactions to surgical intervention and care. - cancer and recovery - feelings of being weighed down by all the family dramas - in dealing with the overwhelming pressures of work - in caring for a partner in declining health In a CranioSacral therapy we are observing through light touch the craniosacral rhythm, which is the third rhythm of the body after heartbeat and breathing. You lie fully clothed on a soft couch and the therapist uses a light touch, holding different parts of your body, maybe your neck, or your head, shoulder or a leg, and then waits patiently. - Mechanoreceptors in your skin respond to the light touch. - Your body tissues begin to unwind the release their restrictions. - Your central nervous system interprets this as calming. In CranioSacral therapy we invite you to talk about what you are noticing happening in your body. And if we choose to pay attention to a particular part, for example, your gut and the organs of digestion, you might gain some insight into, say, a painful bowel condition. And CranioSacral therapy can be surprising - - where we touch can have an impact on distant parts of your body - holding your belly might trigger activity and thoughts in your brain During a CranioSacral therapy session you can talk or you might prefer to remain quiet. The choice always rests with you. And each session will be different. In Upledger CranioSacral therapy a particular type of conversation between the therapist and client can lead to somato-emotional release. This is the release of perhaps long-held emotions from your body either through movement, laughter, tears or silence. It is always the case that this only happens when your body’s inner wisdom knows that the time for this is right for you
