Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a totally non-invasive therapy that is suitable for everyone, including newborn babies.

The ‘cranio’ refers to the top of the spine and the ‘sacral’ refers to the lower end of the spine or sacrum. CST can be applied to all parts of the body and works with the whole person; body, mind and spirit.

CST may be used for acute physical problems such as aches and pains throughout the body, or for emotional problems, such as stress.

• Maintain a healthy diet and weight.
• Remain active (under the supervision of your health professional).
• Avoid prolonged inactivity or bed rest
• Warm up or stretch before exercise/physical activities.
• Maintain good posture.
• Wear comfortable, low heeled shoes
• Sleep on a mattress of medium firmness to minimize any curvature in your spine.
• Lift with your knees, keeping the object close to your body. Do not twist when lifting.
• Quit smoking. Smoking impairs blood flow, resulting in oxygen and nutrient deprivation to spinal tissue.
• Ensure your computer workstation is ergonomically correct.
