For the Health of It: Craniosacral – A gentle handson way to release tension
Jan 16, 2025
COLUMBIA SC (WOLO) –
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that helps release tension deep
within the body, promoting relaxation and enhancing the body’s natural ability to heal. At Hima
Dalal Integrative Health, we have seen transformative benefits of CST in individuals across all
age groups—from infants to seniors.
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
CST focuses on the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid
that protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord. Using light touch, CST practitioners assess
and release restrictions in this system to support overall health and well-being.
How CST Helps Different Age Groups
Infants
The birthing process can cause stress and tension in a baby’s craniosacral system. CST helps
resolve:
● Colic, feeding difficulties, and latch issues.
● Birth trauma, including torticollis and plagiocephaly.
● Sleep disturbances and fussiness.
Children
CST offers gentle support for:
● Sensory processing challenges and developmental delays.
● Anxiety, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders.
● Headaches, migraines, and growing pains.
Adults
Stress and lifestyle factors can result in physical and emotional discomfort, which CST alleviates
by:
● Relieving chronic pain, including fibromyalgia and TMJ dysfunction.
● Supporting mental health by reducing anxiety, PTSD symptoms, and stress.
● Enhancing overall vitality and relaxation.
Seniors
Aging can bring its own set of challenges, such as chronic pain, mobility issues, and memory
concerns. CST helps by:
● Reducing pain associated with arthritis and other conditions.
● Supporting balance and coordination.
● Enhancing mental clarity and emotional well-being.
How Does CST Work?
With light touch, CST practitioners identify areas of restriction within the craniosacral system. By
gently releasing these restrictions, the therapy improves fluid movement and balances the
nervous system, enabling the body to heal itself more effectively.
Training in CST
Craniosacral Therapy requires a solid understanding of anatomy and the ability to detect subtle
changes in the body. Practitioners typically complete specialized training and certification to
offer this safe, effective therapy. At Hima Dalal Integrative Health, our team is highly skilled in
providing CST and tailoring it to each client’s unique needs.
