What Happens During A Treatment ?
How Does CST Work ?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) focuses on the inherent ability of the body to heal itself. This process involves extremely subtle touch on the body's surface. It is therefore safe for people of all ages : Infants to elderly. It is also a safe therapeutic choice for women during pregnancy.

At your first session, the practitioner will ask you for relevant information about your health, in order to provide you with a treatment ideally suited for your needs. The examination is done by testing for movement in various parts of your system and by reducing tissue tension in those areas.

The treatment usually takes place on a massage table and will last for 60-90 minutes. The therapist mostly uses light touch and light pressure. People vary in their physical sensitivity, and each body reacts in its own unique manner. Some people experience a sense of deep relaxation; sensations like heat, tingling or pulsation are common as well. Emotions and memories may come up during a release process.
