Cranial Sacral Therapy
Subtle, Powerful Healing
Cranial Sacral Therapy works with the body's most fundamental rhythms to release tension, reduce pain, and restore balance. It is one of the gentlest and most profoundly effective physical therapies offered at Townsend Naturopathic.
OVERVIEW
Cranial Sacral Therapy at Townsend Naturopathic
Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the craniosacral system, the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. By using extremely light touch to evaluate and enhance the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and release restrictions in the craniosacral system, Dr. Kim helps relieve tension deep in the body and improve the functioning of the central nervous system.

The Method
How Cranial Sacral Therapy Works
During a CST session, Dr. Kim helps release fascial restrictions and rebalance the craniosacral system without force or manipulation.
The experience is typically deeply relaxing, many patients enter a state of deep rest or light sleep during treatment. CST is safe for patients of all ages and is particularly valuable for those who have not responded to more forceful manual therapies.
What to Expect
Your Cranial Sacral Experience
Dr. Kim will guide you through what to expect based on your specific condition and how your body tends to respond. CST works particularly well alongside other naturopathic therapies and is often integrated into broader treatment plans for complex chronic conditions where the nervous system plays a central role.
