Cliff Notes on how CST performed &  some health benefits?

• Stress & Strains of everyday life = body compensation
• Body compensation =  body tissues tighten and distort the craniosacral system
• Distortions = tension to form around the brain and spinal cord resulting in restrictions.
• Restrictions = can create a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system, and potentially every other system it interacts with.
• Soft touch techniques by the CST practitioner using his/her hands to evaluate the craniosacral system & testing for ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid pulsing around the brain and spinal core can help release restrictions in any tissues influencing the craniosacral system.

• gentle, hands-on approach using light touch
• generally no greater than 5 grams of pressure – about the weight of a nickel
• the touch releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction
• practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround, support & nourish the central nervous system
• this improves overall health and well-being & performance
• complementary method of hands-on bodywork helps to alleviate the aches, pains and strains of life; improves coping mechanisms to allow for better management of stress.
• works with the natural and unique rhythms of the different body systems to pinpoint and address problem sources.
• CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease
