Massage and Bodywork: Craniosacral Therapy

What to Expect at a CST Session
Clients lay on a massage table, fully clothed, and the practitioner gently touches the body. Practitioners feel for the pulse of the cerebrospinal fluid and apply gentle pressure to parts of the head, spine, and tailbone to balance the rhythm of the fluid.

Intuition is also important in this work, and practitioners listen to the body as they work. With the client, they may be able to solve some of the body's mysteries—releasing emotions so the nervous system can relax into its natural flow.

Sessions are typically 30-60 minutes. Clients often report feeling very relaxed and sometimes drift into a mild sleep stage. Other times, the client may have an image or feeling that is brought up by the release of old emotions.
