Benefits of CST

Why People Seek Craniosacral Therapy

People come to Craniosacral Therapy (CST) for many different reasons. Some are managing pain, recovering from physical injury, or dealing with long-standing tension. Others seek support with stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or the emotional effects of life’s challenges. Many are simply drawn to its quiet, deeply respectful approach — a way of reconnecting with the body’s natural rhythms and restoring inner balance.

CST is suitable for people of all ages and can be used alongside conventional medical care or other therapies.

What Clients Often Experience

CST supports the nervous system — helping the body release held tension and move back into a state of ease. Clients often report feeling calmer, clearer, and more connected after a session. Benefits may include:

  • Physical Wellbeing
    • Relief from headaches, migraines, and jaw tension (TMJ)
    • Reduction in back, neck, and muscular pain
    • Better digestion and hormonal balance
    • Greater mobility and ease following surgery or injury
    • Support with chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia or ME/CFS
    • Improved sleep and energy levels
  • Emotional & Mental Resilience
    • Reduced stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
    • Support with symptoms of trauma or PTSD
    • Help navigating grief, burnout, or emotional fatigue
    • A greater sense of emotional clarity and calm
  • Support Across Life Stages
    • Settling and regulation for babies after birth
    • Support for children with sensory, behavioural or sleep challenges
    • Gentle care during pregnancy and postnatal recovery
    • Restorative support during periods of change or transition

A Subtle Approach with Profound Effects

CST works through light, therapeutic touch — allowing the body to self-correct without force or manipulation. Because it engages with the nervous system and deeper layers of tissue, the effects may be subtle but far-reaching.

This approach honours the body’s own intelligence and healing capacity, creating space for change that arises from within rather than being imposed from the outside.
