Upledger CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch therapy that was developed by osteopathic physician and surgeon Dr. John Upledger. CranioSacral Therapy focuses on the relationship between the cranio-sacral system (which includes the central nervous system, cerebral spinal fluid, the membranes and their osseous attachments) and the wider body.

The technique of CranioSacral Therapy involves gentle hand placement by the therapist, guided by the client’s Inner Wisdom, to facilitate the body’s natural and innate healing processes. The benefits of such a technique are myriad, facilitating both physical and emotional release within the body to help regain optimal health (or true homeostasis) within all of the body’s systems.

The highly relaxing effect of CranioSacral Therapy, promoted by it’s close connection with the central nervous system, is very beneficial in our modern work/life environment, where the physical and mental effects of stress are becoming well-documented by the scientific community.
