Massage Worx & Wellness 

CranioSacral (Cranial Sacral) Therapy (CST) is a light-touch therapy that can create dramatic improvements in your health. 

Your craniosacral system protects your brain and spinal cord.  It consists of the fluid (cerebrospinal fluid) and membranes around the brain and spinal cord.  As you deal with life's stresses, your body tissues begin to tighten and and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord which, in turn, affect every other part of your body.

CranioSacral Therapy helps you achieve maximum relaxation so that those tensions are relieved and your body can self-correct.  Using pressure at only the weight of a nickel makes CST a great treatment for all ages from newborns to elders.  Medical conditions that may normally prevent you from safely receiving massage therapy would not prevent your from safely receiving CranioSacral Therapy. 

A few of the problems that CST helps to relieve are:

• Migraines and Headaches
• Chronic Neck and Back Pain
• Stress and Tension Related Disorders
• Chronic Fatigue
• Fibromyalgia
• TMJ Syndrome
• ADD/ADHD
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• and Many other conditions

THE SESSION

A typical CST session takes place in a peaceful, relaxing room and will last about an hour.  You remain fully clothed except for your shoes.  The therapist will monitor the rhythm of the craniosacral system by gently touching various parts of your body to include your feet, legs, waist, shoulders and head.  This allows the therapist to locate areas of weak fluid flow and help find the original source of dysfunction.  They will then use techniques to release those problem areas and improve the function of the central nervous system.  Each person has an individual response to the session.  They are generally deeply relaxing and may involve feelings of warmth and well-being.
