Craniosacral Bodywork
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands‑on technique that releases tension in the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By calming the nervous system, CST can ease pain, reduce stress, and promote deeper, more restorative sleep.
Areas of focus
Light‑touch releases at the skull, spine, and pelvis
Nervous‑system down‑regulation for insomnia related to stress or chronic pain
Adjunct therapy for headaches, TMJ, and fibromyalgia
Conditions we treat
Stress‑related insomnia
Bruxism
Tension headaches
Fibromyalgia‑related sleep disruption
Our approach
50‑minute sessions in a calm, low‑stimulus environment
Personalized home exercises to maintain relaxation between visits
Coordination with functional‑medicine and behavioral‑sleep plans
Who benefits
Adults and teens experiencing light sleep, frequent awakenings, or pain‑related sleep disruption who prefer a non‑pharmacologic method.
How it improves sleep & health
Recent RCTs show CST can significantly improve sleep quality in fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions with high patient satisfaction and minimal side effects.
