Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
Gentle. Restorative. Profoundly healing.
There’s no cracking or force—just light, sustained touch that helps the body unwind on a deep physical, emotional, and neurological level.
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is one of the most powerful tools we use to support families in every stage—from newborns, pregnancy to postpartum recovery to everyday adult stress. It’s a gentle, hands-on technique that helps release tension, calm the nervous system, and support the body’s natural healing rhythms.
What to Expect
CST sessions are quiet, calming, and deeply restorative. Babies often fall asleep. Moms leave feeling lighter, grounded, and more at peace in their bodies.
For Babies
Even a smooth birth can leave a baby’s nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight. CST helps reset and regulate that system so your little one can relax, digest, feed, and develop with more ease.
We commonly use CST to support:
Birth tension (especially after long/fast labor, C-section, vacuum or forceps delivery)
Latch or feeding difficulties
Poor sucking reflex
Tongue and lip tie tension (pre- and post-revision)
Colic, reflux, gas, and digestive issues
Torticollis (tight neck muscles or limited neck rotation)
Constipation
Head preference or flattening (plagiocephaly)
Sensory sensitivities or difficulty settling
Tense or rigid body
Startle reflex or difficulty sleeping
Congestion or recurring ear infections
Oral motor challenges
Limited range of motion (neck, hips, shoulders)
We often combine CST with gentle pediatric chiropractic care to support healthy development right from the start.
For Pregnancy
As your body grows and changes, so does the demand on your nervous system. CST supports a more comfortable, connected pregnancy—both physically and emotionally.
We often use CST during pregnancy to support:
Pelvic or sacral tension
Round ligament pain
Pubic bone discomfort
Rib and diaphragm tightness
Headaches and migraines
Jaw tension or clenching
Stress regulation and sleep support
Emotional processing
Birth prep and nervous system priming
Whether you're preparing for labor or just trying to get better rest, CST can help your body find balance.
For Adults
While our focus is families, adults of all ages benefit from the calming, regulating effects of CST. It’s especially helpful for anyone carrying physical tension or emotional stress.
CST can support:
Headaches or migraines
TMJ and jaw tension
Chronic neck and shoulder pain
Sleep issues
Stress or emotional overload
Nervous system dysregulation
Post-concussion symptoms
Brain fog and fatigue
Sinus pressure and congestion
Trauma recovery (physical or emotional)
Poor posture and spinal tension
It’s the reset button your body’s been asking for.
