If you’ve ever wished there was a way to reset your entire system without having to push through pain or strain, CranioSacral Therapy (CST) might be the missing piece.
At Bodylogic Therapeutics, CST is one of our core offerings because of its subtle power. But what is it, exactly?
CST in Simple Terms
Think of your body as a finely tuned instrument. Over time, stress, injury, or trauma—physical or emotional—can throw that instrument out of tune. CranioSacral Therapy is like the gentle hand of a skilled musician, adjusting the strings so your body can once again play in harmony.
Using light touch (about the weight of a nickel), CST focuses on the rhythm and flow of the cerebrospinal fluid around your brain and spinal cord. This fluid bathes your central nervous system and is key to your body’s ability to heal and regulate itself.
What Happens in a Session?
A typical session involves fully clothed, hands-on work. You’ll lie comfortably on the table while your therapist uses gentle holds—often starting at the feet, sacrum (base of the spine), or head—to tune into subtle patterns and restrictions.
Clients often describe the experience as deeply relaxing, sometimes even dreamlike. Some fall asleep; others feel emotions rise and release; many simply feel lighter afterward.
Who Can Benefit?
CST is safe and effective for all ages, from newborns to adults. People seek it out for a wide range of reasons:
- Chronic pain
- Headaches and migraines
- TMJ dysfunction
- Concussions or traumatic brain injury
- Nervous system dysregulation
- Stress, anxiety, and burnout
- Sleep issues
- Sensory processing challenges (especially in children)
And sometimes, people come in simply because they “don’t feel right” but can’t explain why. CST is great for that, too.
Why We Love It at Bodylogic Therapeutics
CST works with the body—not against it. Instead of forcing tissue to release or cracking joints into place, we listen, follow, and support your body’s innate ability to unwind tension and heal.
It’s not about doing more. It’s about creating space so your system can do what it’s designed to do: return to balance.
