…is what I’ve been asked a few times now. Always accompanied with the Tommy Cooper hand movement! 👐
So I thought I’d try and capture the essence of the therapy I practise. Not that easy when there are big tomes written on the subject, but here goes, my take on this pretty cool modality
Craniosacral therapy -CST- is what I do and if you’ve never heard of it or had a session then it can seem a bit mysterious from the outside, although it is really beautifully simple
As CST therapists we are trained to feel, with a gentle touch of our hands, for restrictions and tensions a body may be holding. By offering this contact and deep level of attention over different areas of the body - not just the cranium and sacrum area- but literally anywhere it is needed, your body can begin to feel wonderfully held and safe enough to begin to release unwanted physical or emotional tensions.
This release can have a physical quality, as in heat, cold, tingling or twitching or an emotional release such as big sobs or gentle tears. Laughter is a common release too. It’s all good and, as they say, better out than in 😊
The underlying good health all our bodies possess but can’t always access due to these restrictions now has opportunity to begin to flow increasing our overall health and well-being
CST is gentle enough for new born babies and the elderly, perfect for everyone 💫
