Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on technique that can help relieve pain, such as headaches and neck pain, as well as alleviate side effects from cancer treatment and more.
CST is a "tune-up" for your body's wiring, the nervous system. This technique aims to reintegrate body and mind to work as one holistic system and provide a general sense of well-being.
Unlike traditional full-body massage that focuses on muscle tissue manipulation, craniosacral therapy targets the membranes and fluids that surround, protect, and nourish the brain and spinal cord.
"I recently visited Melissa for lymphatic drainage massage and craniosacral therapy, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Melissa’s expertise is second-to-none. The lymphatic drainage massage was incredibly gentle yet effective—I felt immediate relief from swelling and a deep sense of relaxation throughout my entire body. Her craniosacral therapy session also helped release tension I didn't realize I was holding, especially in my neck and shoulders. But what really stood out to me was Melissa’s calming presence and professional approach — together these made me feel completely at ease. Not only did w check-in together prior to the session but also afterwards to discuss how I felt, and what I can do moving forward. If you're looking for a wellness expert on the North Shore who understands holistic healing, Melissa is the one to go with. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to feel like themself again!" - Matthew E.
During the session, you may feel subtle sensations like warmth, tingling, or a wave of relaxation spreading throughout your body. It’s also common for some individuals to have emotional releases, such as tears or laughter, which are natural responses to the therapy.
After addressing restrictions in the peripheral body and dural tube, the therapist shifts focus to the cranium and sacrum. At this stage, the therapist works to correct both primary and secondary dysfunctions in the skull bones, facial bones, hard palate, and the sacrococcygeal complex.
Responses to craniosacral therapy can vary; many individuals may experience a temporary increase in symptoms before noticing improvement. Other possible side effects include headaches, muscle soreness, lightheadedness, emotional release, and fatigue.
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a form of bodywork that can offer deep healing for stress and anxiety. This gentle, light-touch technique originates from osteopathic medicine.
Weekly sessions are recommended for individuals recovering from major trauma. Monthly appointments may be sufficient for those effectively managing chronic conditions and stress, particularly when combined with fitness programs, manual therapy, or physical therapy treatments.
