GLOSSARY OF NATURAL THERAPY TERMS:

 

Text by Caroline Welsh

CranioSacral Therapy is a standout among the popular methods that work with the body,
because instead of forcefully imposing changes upon it, it's a light touch manual therapy
that enhances the body’s natural healing processes.

The CranioSacral Therapy practitioner essentially helps the body release restrictions – which
it has been unable to overcome on its own – that inhibit the body’s normal,
self-correcting tendencies. 

Benefits of CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) has been shown to alleviate a range of conditions, including
migraine headaches, chronic neck and back pain, infantile colic, TMJ dysfunction,
stress and tension related problems.

While the focus of CST is to uncover the source of the problem, symptom relief
is also achieved. The length of time and number of sessions needed is extremely variable
and depends, among other factors, on the complex layers of injury and trauma that may
mask the original cause of the problem as well as the body’s defence mechanisms.

Due to its gentleness and effectiveness, many people include CST as a component in their
personal wellness program. They report having more energy, sleeping better and
being sick less often.
