What is CranioSacral Therapy?

"Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on technique that uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of the fluids in and around the central nervous system. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity."

-The Cleveland Clinic

​

While bodyworkers and massage therapists have long been savvy to the ease, freedom, and healing potential offered by CranioSacral Therapy, it is indeed exciting to see progressive, highly reputable hospitals such as the Cleveland Clinic add CS to their Wellness and Preventative Medicine Department alongside acupuncture, medical massage, and chiropractics. 

​

This revolutionary change in the medical setting is thanks to visionary CS therapists. For instance, Victoria Bodner, LMT and Upledger trained CS therapist, (whom we were very lucky to have speak at our First Annual CranioSacral Summit on the process of adding CS to a hospital setting) made this dream a reality at the Cleveland Clinic. 

​

While many students are massage therapists, PCA graduates have brilliantly integrated CranioSacral Therapy into settings that are not traditionally considered the realm of massage therapy. Hospice, Psychology, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Sports Medicine, Acupuncture Clinics, Midwife and Doula Services are just a few examples.

The possibilities are truly endless.
