CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger. CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system – comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
This unique type of therapy is performed using a light touch no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel. It is energy directed, and can heal your body on many levels by addressing your craniosacral system and balancing the craniosacral pump – the mechanism that produces and directs the fluid that flows inside the head and spinal cord inside your body. Gentle pressure focused on balancing the rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid releases restrictions from your sacrum to your cranial area, all along your spine and associated organs within your body. Since this vital system influences the development and performance of your brain and spinal cord, an imbalance or restriction could potentially cause any number of sensory, motor or neurological blockages.

How Is CranioSacral Therapy Performed?
CranioSacral Therapy is performed on a person fully clothed. Using a light touch – generally no more than the weight of a nickel – the practitioner monitors the rhythm of the craniosacral system to detect potential restrictions and imbalances. The therapist then uses delicate manual techniques to release those problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord. The result? A central nervous system free of restrictions. And a body that’s able to return to its greatest levels of performance. SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is a therapeutic process used in conjunction with CST to help rid the mind and body of the residual effects of all types of trauma. SER helps to:
- Assess and mobilize the Avenue of Expression working through more than 10 different body components, including the thoracic inlet, hard palate and hyoglossal tissues.
- Locate and release Energy Cysts.
- Release suppressed emotions that may be inhibiting complete structural releases.
Your CranioSacral session may last from 45 minutes to more than an hour, and it can be used alone or in conjunction with Diamond Light energy.
An in-person 60 Min CranioSacral Session is $140. Kaye treats clients in Worcester, Hudson, and Weston, MA (prices vary upon location).
