Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle manual therapy technique that works with the fluid and membranes surrounding the central nervous system. The central nervous system is the body’s communication highway. When we experience stress or injury it can alter the craniosacral rhythm. This can impair function in the body’s other systems and contribute to pain, injury and illness.
Using a very light touch, your therapist will assess the craniosacral system and make subtle adjustments to restore symmetry, flow, and function throughout your body. This will maximize your body’s ability to access its own innate resources and initiate healing.
Somatoemotional Release
Somatoemotional Release (SER) is a component of Craniosacral Therapy that can occur within a session. SER is based on the idea that the body’s tissues retain any residual energy from events that is not fully processed at the time it occurs . The energy becomes stagnate and disrupts the normal functions of the body until it is released.
There can be physical and energetic releases during a CST session. SER occurs when a recognition and/or experience of an emotion facilitates a release. This can happen in a variety of ways and is unique to the client. Somatoemotional Release does not occur in every Craniosacral Therapy session. When they do, however, it is significant for the overall health and well-being of the person.
