Few structures have as much potential for creating health (or pain) as the brain and spinal cord. In times of overwhelm, our bodies are working diligently to mask symptoms and keep us going. Sometimes these adaptations create unconscious distortions and tension which can result in irregularities in the craniosacral system. This response will create dysfunction of cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. In the beginning this may be barely noticeable, however accumulated insults lead to less ability to adapt until finally we have symptoms such as pain, acute or chronic disease, physiologic and emotional dysregulation.

When we become overwhelmed, our inherently self-correcting mechanisms fail to operate fully. At such a time it is productive to work with a therapist who will objectively support our return to full health by creating balance in the tissues of the craniosacral system, thus restoring function. CST is appropriate for individuals of all age levels, and often helps people get to the root of their issue rather than only masking symptoms.
