Cranio Sacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing your craniosacral system, which is made up of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects your brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch generally no greater than five grams or about the weight of a dime, CST releases restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. CST also works with the fascia and connective tissue in the body. This can help your body heal from accidents or trauma you have experienced many years ago. The light touch in CST can direct and release restrictions are causing the body’s need for adaptation.
Somato Emotional. Release (SER) isa therapeutic process that uses and expands upon the principles of CST to help rid the mind and body of the residual effects of trauma.
