Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch, hands-on form of bodywork that releases restrictions in the Craniosacral system (brain, spinal cord, cerebrospinal fluid, and surrounding membranes). This is a physiological system in the body that can be felt through a subtle rhythm, much like a pulse or respiration. The treatment is performed with the client fully clothed on the massage table, similar to energy work. CST is gentle, and promotes a deep sense of relaxation in the body in order to tap into the central nervous system's ability to self-correct and restore proper functioning. The results are profound, and have an outlying effect on the entire body.
CST is reported to be effective in relieving symptoms associated with: headaches/migranes, neck & back pain, sciatica, stress and anxiety, trauma, concussions, TMJ syndrome, and more.
This treatment is a custom massage that incorporates both cupping and craniosacral therapy. I address your needs using these techniques, which help to calm your nervous system and relax your muscles.
Cupping is an international form of bodywork that uses negative pressure to release muscle tissue by pulling and lifting, instead of pressing and pushing. It works directly with the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems; therefore, increasing circulation and clearing waste from the body. This is extremely healthy and healing. My cupping techniques feel good and promote relaxation, while doing deeper massage work. Cupping is very effective for really tight muscles, and resolves many musculoskeletal issues. 5 minutes of cupping = 30 minutes of deep tissue massage!
