Founded by an American Osteopathic Physician, William Sutherland in the 1930s, Craniosacral Therapy (CST) combines an anatomical understanding of the body and the flow of cerebral spinal fluid with the ancient and sacred healing art of laying hands upon a patient.
Just as we all have a heart rate and beating rhythm, there’s an even subtler rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid that Dr Sutherland referred to as the ‘Breath of Life.’ This fluid bathes, protects and nourishes the brain and spinal cord held within the meningeal layers surrounding the central nervous system.
Based on the universal understanding of the healing powers of physical touch, this therapy therefore crosses time and cultural barriers; working with the natural rhythmic flow of each individual in order to optimise deep relaxation and self healing.
