Craniosacral Therapy: The Gentle Touch That Unlocks Deep Healing
When it comes to pain relief and stress reduction, most people imagine vigorous treatments like massage or physical manipulation. But what if healing could come from something as subtle as the light touch of a trained therapist’s hand?
That’s the power of Craniosacral Therapy (CST)—a gentle, non-invasive treatment that taps into your body’s innate ability to self-heal. At Recovery Rehab Physiotherapy in Westmead, we offer Craniosacral Therapy as part of our holistic approach to pain, tension, and nervous system care.
What Is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy is a hands-on technique that works with the craniosacral system—the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect your brain and spinal cord. By using very light touch, a therapist can release tension deep in the body, improving physical and emotional wellbeing.
This therapy is based on the concept that subtle rhythms in the body reflect the health of the central nervous system. By enhancing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and relieving restrictions in the tissues, CST supports the body in relaxing, rebalancing, and restoring itself.
What Can Craniosacral Therapy Help With?
CST is commonly used for a wide range of conditions, including:
-
Chronic neck and back pain
-
Migraines and headaches
-
TMJ (jaw tension) disorders
-
Stress and anxiety
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Chronic fatigue
-
Digestive disorders
-
Post-concussion symptoms
-
Infant colic and breastfeeding difficulties
At Recovery Rehab Physiotherapy, we often recommend CST for clients seeking a gentle alternative or complement to traditional physiotherapy.
How Does It Work?
A typical session involves the client lying fully clothed on a treatment table while the therapist gently touches specific points on the head, spine, sacrum, and other parts of the body. You may experience:
-
A deep sense of relaxation
-
Subtle shifts in the body
-
Emotional releases or memories resurfacing
-
Relief from pain or pressure
Unlike deep tissue treatments, CST respects the body’s pace, working in harmony with its natural healing rhythms.
