Pittsburgh Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) demonstrates the power of touch. It focuses on the cranial (head) and sacral (base of the spine), utilizing the whole spine through the dura mater tube, located in the spinal column area.
 
The aim of craniosacral therapy is to restore the normal pattern of movement in the areas that are affected by pain, injury or limited mobility. Karen applies this method, using a gentle touch, to evaluate and enhance the function of the craniosacral system.
 
We use CST to complement the body’s natural healing process and improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
