How Does CranioSacral
Therapy Work?
There is an innate ability within the human body to heal itself.
When we cut ourselves, our bodies respond with an elaborate
process to close the skin. Immune responses and inflammatory
responses are also ways the body self-heals. CranioSacral
Therapy involves facilitating or enhancing the body’s own natural
capacity to heal when trauma or disease become overwhelming
to the system.
CranioSacral therapists access the CranioSacral system by
listening through palpation, melding, and blending with the
body’s tissues, by connecting intentionally and communicating
directly with the innate intelligence– the Inner Wisdom–of the
body. We do not take the tissue where it does not take itself – we
follow the tissue and allow the entire body to relax and selfcorrect. CST has been shown to naturally reduce pain and stress,
strengthen resistance to disease, and enhance health and wellbeing. And because it’s so gentle, CST has been shown to be
effective for all ages, from newborns to elders
