Craniosacral Therapy (CST) has been beneficial for me to control my fight or flight response. It works directly with the nervous system and teaches your body to switch between the Sympathetic/ Parasympathetic nervous system in a healthy way. CST has also been proven to have significant physical benefits, in fact, it is not uncommon to see CST be integrated into an Osteopaths practice. In Europe, 90% of Osteopaths use CST as a gentle alternative to joint manipulation and dealing with joint pain. There are multiple ways to practice CST; in my practice I use light pressure to manipulate the membranes and fluid of the brain and spinal cord to teach your body to control its sympathetic nervous system responses. Within a month of 60-minute Craniosacral Therapy, you will find results in your fight or flight response such as: controlling your emotions, not jumping to loud sounds, or even being able to fall asleep without your mind racing. 

     Craniosacral Therapy is commonly used among newborn babies and infants. CST on children is beneficial to helping their growth patterns and controlling their subconscious nervous system.  There have been many studies on CST with newborn babies or children with ADHD, ADD, or Autism. Children on the spectrum show significantly positive results in behavior, whether it's emotionally or physically, when they receive CST.
