Craniosacral Therapy explained

One of the modalities that I work with in my training as a bodyworker is Craniosacral Therapy. CST is often misunderstood as purely "energy work".  In fact, it is much more somatic in nature.  While tuning in to the intrinsic rhythm and pulse of cerebrospinal fluid within the body, CST focuses on holding space for the somatic "creature nature" of the human organism, allowing relaxation, postural correction, and healing to arise on its own without gross physical manipulations of the body and its structure.

Here is a great article with some background on Craniosacral Therapy, its development and effectiveness in treatment, and some scientific reasoning for why and how it works.
