As opposed to the myofascial release and deep tissue work that I do, Craniosacral therapy is a very different modality, with light touch and subtle but very specific adjustments, but also yielding incredible results with my clients.

As defined by the Upledger Institute, "CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. It was pioneered and developed by Osteopathic Physician John E. Upledger after years of clinical testing and research at Michigan State University where he served as professor of biomechanics.

Using a soft touch which is generally no greater than 5 grams - about the weight of a nickel - practitioners release restrictions in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system. CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and it's effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction."

CST can and has been shown to help improve stress, pain such as headaches, migrains, TMJ, backpain, and help with neural, mental, and mood disorders. If you'd like a CST session with me message me - I have a special at the moment for first-time sessions, of $80 dollars in the east village, midtown, gramercy and unionsquare.
