Who created craniosacral therapy?

​CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics.

What is CranioSacral Therapy?

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.

Pediatric conditions, including newborns well-being

  • Improved sleep: Craniosacral therapy can help soothe and calm newborns, promoting more restful sleep and improved sleep patterns.

  • Reduced colic and digestive issues: CST may help relieve tension in the digestive system, reducing symptoms of colic, reflux, and other digestive issues that can be common in newborns.

  • Relief from birth trauma: Newborns can experience tension or discomfort as a result of the birth process. CST can help release any tension or compression in the head, neck, and spine, promoting overall relaxation and reducing discomfort.

  • Enhanced immune function: CST may help stimulate the immune system, supporting overall health and well-being.

  • Improved breastfeeding: By promoting relaxation and reducing tension in the jaw and face, CST may help newborns with breastfeeding difficulties.
