Cranio Sacral Therapy Hong Kong
Cranio sacral therapy uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of fluids in and around the central nervous system. It stimulates the cerebrospinal fluid in the brain called CSF.
​
Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity.
​
The focus of Cranio sacral therapy is a gentle placement of hands to assist release of the body’s connective tissue, or “fascia.” Fascia is a covering found throughout the body including organs, glands, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, brain and spinal cord. This covering forms a body-wide connective network. CST is based on the idea that the body is interrelated at all levels.
​
CST is thought to improve efficiency of biological processes through boosting inherent self-regulation, self-correction and self-healing. The therapy can be used successfully on children and adults.
Cranio sacral therapy can be used for people of all ages.

​
-
