What is CranioSacral therapy?


The CranioSacral System

Each person has a craniosacral rhythm.  This is caused by the increase and decrease of cerebrospinal fluid produced and reabsorbed at a regular rate within and around the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). 

Jeannette Raskin CST, RMT
The subtle rhythm can be felt by a practitioner trained in CranioSacral Therapy.  This rhythm (6-12 cycles per minute) can be felt all over the body.  It is similar to the rhythms of the heart (pulse) and lungs (respiration).

The craniosacral rhythm, when felt in different parts of the body, can be used to detect dysfunctions or disturbances in the body.  These disturbances can develop symptoms:  such as back pain, headaches, etc.  A CranioSacral Therapist can usually help the body re-establish balanced motion with gentle, subtle techniques, thus assisting the body to return itself to normal function.
