Craniosacral Therapy
Suitable for Infants, Children and Adults
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that supports the body's natural healing processes by focusing on the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It is especially beneficial for infants and children, helping to address issues like colic, breastfeeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, and developmental concerns. CST can also benefit adults, providing relief from stress, headaches, chronic pain, and nervous system imbalances. This therapy offers a safe and nurturing approach for all ages, supporting overall health and well-being.
