Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach designed to assess and optimize the craniosacral system, which consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid enveloping the brain and spinal cord. Developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger, CST emerged from extensive clinical research and biomechanic studies.

Using a delicate touch, often no heavier than a nickel, practitioners aim to release restrictions within the craniosacral system, thereby enhancing the central nervous system's functionality. This therapy complements the body's innate healing mechanisms, making it increasingly popular as a preventive healthcare strategy to boost immunity and alleviate pain.
