Craniosacral Therapy

Gentle, natural tension relief treatment to balance, support, and reduce stress within your nervous system.

From birth, every person carries unresolved stress and tension within our bodies that can affect your general health and well-being from childhood and into adulthood.

This tension can manifest as a range of symptoms, from physical limitations, discomfort, or even emotional distress. It can affect your sleep, learning, range of motion, cause persistent pain, and interfere with simple tasks.

Intervention through Craniosacral Therapy (CST) can make a significant difference in your lifelong health.

CST works to balance, support, and reduce stress within your nervous system, which connects every part of your body to your brain. CST focuses on gently manipulating the connective tissue in the body to relieve pressure on the nerves.

How is CranioSacral Therapy good for my baby?

Babies' nervous systems are rapidly developing before the age of two and can be easily affected by various factors like oral restrictions, in-utero position, prenatal accidents, or birth injuries.

CST uses a light-touch technique to relieve pain and dysfunction in the body. It targets and releases tension in the central nervous system, which can improve whole-body health, function, and performance.

By gently evaluating and releasing strain patterns, CST allows a baby's nervous system to operate at its best. This can positively impact various aspects of their development, such as nursing, sleeping, and overall growth.

Client Stories of Transformation

  • Sierra (Harrisburg)

    Our daughter struggled with frequent spit-ups, gas discomfort, and restless sleep. We started bringing her to Kristy for CST sessions when she was 5 months old. After just a few appointments, we saw noticeable improvements, and after our 3rd and 4th sessions, she started having regular bowel movements, and improved mobility overall. We are positive that these sessions directly resulted in our baby’s ability to crawl! We are very happy with Kristy, and highly recommend her.

  • Kristy (New Cumberland)

    I have always felt pretty limited on my left side, I had poor peripheral vision, poor range of motion, and persistent pain in my left hip. I also had a very severe gag reflex that prohibited me from swallowing pills easily and required that I chewed my food excessively. After just one CST session I experienced a significant decrease in my gag reflex and my left-sided body function improved significantly. I even had to change the mirrors in my car due to improved movement range and my left hip pain that affected me for over a decade pretty much disappeared. At my subsequent chiropractor appointment, my scan looked better than it had before, and I needed fewer corrections by the chiropractor!
