What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle yet profound form of healing rooted in osteopathic medicine. Developed by Dr. John Upledger, CST helps the body release restrictions in tissues that influence the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, centering on the concept that support and soft manipulation of the soft tissues in the skull, spine, and pelvis can positively affect the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the central nervous system, leading to enhanced wellness.
CST is grounded in the understanding that subtle movements of these tissues can impact the body’s intricate web of connective tissues and fluids, facilitating the body’s natural healing processes and improving overall function.
In a typical CST session, practitioners use a soft touch, no greater than the weight of a nickel, to evaluate and enhance the functioning of the craniosacral system. This non-invasive treatment is known for its ability to release tensions deep in the body, promoting a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity.
Though it appears simple, CST’s effects are profound. It is particularly effective in addressing conditions like migraines, chronic neck and back pain, stress-related disorders, and even insomnia. The therapy’s holistic nature means it targets specific symptoms and supports the body’s desire for balance and renewal.
Key Concepts of Craniosacral Therapy:
- Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow: CST focuses on improving the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord. This fluid is vital for the central nervous system’s health and function.
- Tissue and Fluid Dynamics: Subtle movements in the skull, spine, and pelvis can impact the body’s intricate web of connective tissues and fluids. CST facilitates the body’s natural healing processes and improves overall function.
How Craniosacral Therapy Works:
Craniosacral therapy work involves using a light touch to evaluate and enhance the functioning of the craniosacral system, targeting the deep tensions that impact overall health.
- Soft Touch Technique: In a typical CST session, practitioners perform craniosacral therapy using a soft touch, no greater than the weight of a nickel, to evaluate and enhance the functioning of the craniosacral system. This light touch helps release tensions deep within the body.
- Non-Invasive Approach: CST is a non-invasive therapy known for its ability to release tensions, promote well-being, eliminate pain, and boost health and immunity.
Conditions Treated with Craniosacral Therapy:
- Migraines and Headaches: CST can relieve the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines.
- Chronic Pain: Effective in managing chronic neck and back pain.
- Stress and Tension: Reduces stress and tension stored in the body.
- Insomnia: Helps improve sleep quality and manage insomnia.
- Learning Disabilities: Supports cognitive function and focus in individuals with learning disabilities.
- Birth Trauma: Assists in resolving birth trauma in infants and supporting their development.
CST’s holistic nature means it targets specific symptoms and supports the body’s desire for balance and renewal. It is a powerful therapy that promotes overall health and well-being by addressing physical and emotional health.
CST helps the body achieve balance and optimal function by focusing on the brain and spinal cord. Experience the transformative benefits of craniosacral therapy at Acupuncture Colorado Springs, where our expert practitioner is dedicated to your health and wellness.

How Craniosacral Therapy Works
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach focusing on the craniosacral system, including the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding and protecting the brain and spinal cord. This non-invasive therapy is designed to release tensions deep within the body, improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, and promote overall health and well-being.
Description of the Therapy Process
- Gentle Pressure and Light Touch: During a CST session at Acupuncture Colorado Springs, our practitioner uses a soft touch, often no greater than the weight of a nickel, to evaluate and enhance the functioning of the craniosacral system. This gentle pressure is applied to various body parts, including the head, spine, and sacrum, to detect and release restrictions.
- Manipulation of the Craniosacral System: The therapy involves delicate manipulation of the craniosacral system, aiming to improve the movement of cerebrospinal fluid and release tension in the surrounding tissues. This manipulation helps to restore balance and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Explanation of Self-Correction and Self-Healing Mechanisms
Craniosacral therapy facilitates the body’s ability to self-correct and heal. The gentle techniques used in CST help to:
- Promote Self-Correction: By releasing restrictions in the craniosacral system, CST encourages the body to self-correct and return to a state of balance. This process can alleviate pain, reduce tension, and enhance overall function.
- Support Self-Healing: The improved flow of cerebrospinal fluid and reduced tension allow the body’s natural healing mechanisms to function more effectively. CST supports the body in healing from injuries, trauma, and dysfunctions, leading to improved health and well-being.
