Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a non-invasive, profound and gentle, hands-on technique that uses light touch to examine the movements of fluids and membranes in and around the Central Nervous System.
Releasing tension in the Central Nervous System promotes a feeling of well-being by reducing pain and boosting health and immunity. Craniosacral Therapy is thought to improve efficiency of biological processes through boosting inherent self-regulation, self-correction, and self healing. Craniosacral Therapy can be used successfully with both children and adults.
Integrating craniosacral therapy with occupational therapy (OT) involves using gentle, hands-on techniques to address the body’s craniosacral system, which can influence overall health and well-being. OT practitioners incorporate CST to enhance sensory processing, alleviate pain, and promote relaxation. This combination can help clients with various conditions, such as neurological disorders, trauma, or chronic pain, by fostering improved movement, emotional regulation, and functional abilities. The holistic approach of integrating CST with OT aims to support physical and emotional healing, enhancing the overall therapeutic experience and promoting greater independence in daily activities..
