Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
Craniosacral Therapy (CST), is a gentle and non-invasive hands-on technique that focuses on the subtle movements of cranial bones, responding to cerebrospinal fluid fluctuations in the central nervous system. Leona uses her fine-tuned touch to detect dysfunctions in cranial sacral rhythm to help her identify any areas of
dysfunction, such as cranial, sutural, membrane and other soft tissue
restrictions in the body.
CST aims to restore normal cranial mobility, release abnormal tissue restrictions, ease nerve restrictions, optimize cerebrospinal fluid movement, and realign misaligned bones. This therapy is suitable for all ages, addressing a wide range of issues such as:
- Birth traumas and other perinatal challenges
- Infant latching and feeding difficulties
- Recurrent ear infections
- Facial asymmetries and eye motor problems
- Learning disabilities, A.D.D., A.D.H.D
