CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY....Craniosacral therapy has the potential of providing excellent relief to many so-called "medical basket-cases" that some in the medical profession have basically tossed aside saying "There is nothing that can be done for you."
What is it?  Is it like deep tissue massage therapy, neuromuscular therapy, or healing therapies?
 
 CST is becoming more widely known around the country since Dr. John Upledger first developed these wonderful, light, non-invasive techniques in the early 1970's.  Or have you had passed out numerous prescriptions which help for short periods of time but also have serious long-range side effects and may create liver toxicity?

It is the belief of CST Praticioners, like myself, that low-risk and high-benefit therapeutic techniques are of tremendous benefit to many who suffer with painful conditions.  And, craniosacral therapy is not painful like some types of massage/muscle treatments. 

 

As Dr. Jon Vredevoogd stated, "Nature makes the best designs.  Every design in nature is for a purpose and is the most efficient way to accomplish a task.  We should study the way nature does things and try to emulate it, rather the clumsily and egotistically trying to invent our own.  We cannot improve on natural design; we need only understand it."

For ten years, I worked in an osteopathic hospital and neurological clinic physical therapy departments in Jacksonville, Florida. In the physical therapy departments, I worked closely with patients in chronic pain as well as post-surgical, motor vehicle accidents, fibromyalgia, general injuries of a variety of patients referred by the medical community to us.  It was during these years that I began my training in Craniosacral Therapy (CST) through the Upledger Institute in West Palm Beach, FL, headed by world-famous Dr. John Upledger, forerunner of craniosacral therapy.
