 What is CST?

First developed by John Upledger in the 1970s, CST is a manual therapy that focuses on relieving restrictions around the brain to enhance central nervous system performance. This helps to improve the body’s natural healing processes to bolster your immune system and increase overall health and wellbeing. It is effective in treating a range of medical conditions which include:

• Migraines
• Neck and Back Pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Chronic Pain
• TMJ Syndrome
• Motor-coordination Impairments
• Central Nervous System Disorders
• Colic
• Scoliosis
• Brain and Spinal Injuries
• Stress and Emotional Issues
• PTSD

Thanks to the therapeutic and calming nature of CST, it is commonly practiced by many healthcare professionals from physicians to massage therapists. In the case of Dr. Couturier, she has combined the modern practices of craniosacral techniques with the ancient Chinese medicine of Qigong.

By developing techniques and therapies that follow both practices, she aims to amplify her patients Qi. This is achieved through meditation, therapeutic touch, and other exercises that change and evolve as your condition is treated.

She is always ready to answer any questions you may have about craniosacral Qigong.
