Craniosacral Therapy in Abbotsford & Surrey, BC
Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) does what no other therapy has managed for many adults and children. Thought to improve the efficiency of your body’s biological processes, Craniosacral Therapy boosts self-regulation and self-healing.
CST uses a light touch on membranes and fluids in and around your central nervous system to relieve tension. This simple yet exacting touch promotes a feeling of well-being, eliminates pain, and boosts general health and immunity. Craniosacral Therapy works to ease pain and tension through a series of gentle manipulations of the skull harmonized to your central nervous system’s natural rhythm.
Which Conditions are Helped by Craniosacral Therapy (CST)?
Your physiotherapist at Apex Physiotherapy will complete a comprehensive assessment of your condition(s) before recommending Craniosacral Therapy (CST). You may be a candidate for this specialized therapy if you are coping with:
- Chronic pain
- Migraine headaches
- Fibromyalgia
- Multiple sclerosis
- Stroke
- Fascial adhesions
- Post-concussion syndrome
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Neuralgia
- A neurodegenerative disease
- Temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome
- Epilepsy
- Speech impairment
Your physiotherapist gently places their hands in specific patterns to assist your body to release tension in connective tissues, or “fascia.” Fascia forms a body-wide network, connecting your body on all levels.
What to Expect from Craniosacral Therapy (CST) Sessions
A Craniosacral Therapy session is much like regular massage therapy, but you stay fully clothed, and all the pressure is much less forceful. The session starts with a discussion with your physiotherapist to identify trouble areas and any changes since your last session.
The physiotherapist uses very gentle pressure to assess disruptions and/or restrictions in your fascia. This type of light touch and fascial release treatment may help your muscles and/or organs naturally release tension and relieve stress to improve function. Patients often say they feel a deep sense of relaxation. People report pleasant sensations like warmth, tingling, a letting go feeling, relaxation, or a pressure release throughout their body.
