CranioSacral therapy (CST) is suitable for everyone, from newly-born babies to the elderly.
I Practice Craniosacral therapy as taught by Dr. John Upledger and Visural Manipulation developed by Jean-Pierre Barral.
Barral's clinical work with the viscera led to his development of a form of manual therapy that focuses on the internal organs, their environment, and the potential influence on many structural and physiological dysfunctions.
The leading trauma psychiatrist Bessel Van Der Kolk author of the best selling non-fiction book - 'The Body keeps the Score' recommends CranioSacral Therapy - "And for my patients, I always recommend that they see somebody who helps them to really feel into their body, experience their body, open up to their bodies. I refer people always to CranioSacral work or Feldenkrais, I think those are all very important components about becoming a healthy person."

CranioSacral Therapy
promotes relaxation and immune system function, thereby enhancing healing throughout your body.
is a powerful alternative in cases where other therapies have not provided relief.
works well in conjunction with other therapeutic techniques to promote balance and recovery for a variety of symptoms.
How It Works
The craniosacral system consists of the brain, spinal cord, membranes and the fluid within it. This fluid has a pulse or rhythm not unlike the pulse of the circulatory or respiratory systems.
After the body experiences a trauma such as a fall or accident or has been in a cycle of repeated stress, the rhythm within the craniosacral system can be disrupted and a restriction can occur in the natural flow of this fluid. Because the system that is affected is the central nervous system, a variety of different symptoms can occur from headaches to chronic pain and many other neurological complaints.
Through light touch and gentle manipulation of areas on the head and throughout the body including the spine, a trained practitioner can detect where the natural flow is restricted and facilitate a release where flow is then restored. The natural healing ability of the body is the key to the effectiveness of this therapy.
This complementary therapy is gaining popularity due to its gentle and non-invasive treatment of a variety of symptoms.
