CST's uniqueness and proven effectiveness works by manually palpating and evaluating the regular, rhythmical, continuous widening and narrowing of the craniosacral motion, felt by the therapist's hands, throughout the whole body, including the mobility of the cranial bones.
Any compromise to the mobility of this craniosacral system's motion effects the ability of the central nervous system (CNS) to function effectively, thus creating illnesses and diseases to all your other bodily systems, such as the muscular, skeletal, hormonal, digestive, blood and vascular, neurological, cellular, lymphatic, respiratory and autonomic nervous systems.
All thoughts, words, emotions, memories and actions are recorded and processed continually from conception, through the body's biological structures. Each cell has a memory. To release dysfunctions, such as any kind of trauma, (physical and or emotional) from within cells, can potentially release physical pain, dis-ease and illnesses.
The core intent of CST is to use gentle, hands-on, techniques to lessen structural strain patterns to maximise the mobility of fascia, and to engage the body's own self-healing mechanisms, to support the client's rehabilitation to optimal health.
