Craniosacral Therapy and Massage

Therapeutic bodywork that combines craniosacral, myofascial, Thai, and deep tissue techniques to aid in injury recovery, provide relief from headaches, TMJ, musculoskeletal pain, and addresses neurological conditions.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive form of bodywork that focuses on the craniosacral system, which includes the bones, soft tissues, and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This therapy aims to release any restrictions or blockages in the craniosacral system, allowing the body to self-correct and heal. During a session, a therapist uses light touch to listen and evaluate the craniosacral rhythm, which is the subtle movement of the cerebrospinal fluid.

Who is it for?

Craniosacral therapy is suitable for people of all ages. It is especially beneficial for individuals who suffer from chronic pain, stress, headaches, or tension in their bodies. This therapy can also be beneficial for individuals who have experienced trauma, as it helps to release emotional and physical blockages held in the body. It is a versatile and effective treatment option that can be personalized to meet the specific needs of each individual. Dr. Merci combines CST with other forms of bodywork appropriate for the individual patient.

What are the benefits?

By gently manipulating the bones and tissues, the therapist can help restore balance and enhance the body's natural healing abilities. People find craniosacral helpful for variety of conditions including musculoskeletal pain, headaches, migraines, arthritis, physical trauma, sinusitis, TMJ disorders, fatigue, digestive issues, stress-related conditions, and more. It is a safe and effective approach that promotes balance and alignment of all the body systems.
