Craniosacral Therapy

At Dr. Radhika’s Wellness Centre | Delhi NCR

At Dr. Radhika’s Wellness Centre, Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is offered as a refined, evidence-informed, hands-on therapy that supports neurological balance, pain relief, and deep systemic healing.

🌿 What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy was developed by osteopathic physician Dr. John E. Upledger and is widely taught through the Upledger Institute International.

It is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that works with the craniosacral system — the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Using subtle touch (approximately 5 grams of pressure), the practitioner releases restrictions in the skull, spine, and sacrum to enhance central nervous system function.

Benefits and Use of Craniosacral Therapy

CST is thought to relieve compression in the head, neck, and back. This can soothe pain and release both emotional and physical stress and tension. It’s also thought to help restore cranial mobility and ease or release restrictions of the head, neck, and nerves.Cranial sacral therapy can be used for people of all ages. It may be part of your treatment for conditions like:

  •      Migraines and Headaches
  •      Constipation
  •      Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  •      Disturbed sleep cycles
  •      Sinus infections
  •      Neck pain
  •      Fibromyalgia
  •      Recurrent ear infections
  •      Scoliosis
  •      TMJ
  •      Trauma recovery
  •      Anxiety or depression
  •      Difficult pregnancies

There’s plenty of anecdotal evidence that Craniosacral Therapy can relieve stress and tension, though some research suggests that it may only be effective for infants, toddlers, and children. One such study in 2012 found that it was effective at reducing symptoms in those with severe migraines. Another study found that people with fibromyalgia experienced relief from symptoms (including pain and anxiety) thanks to Craniosacral Therapy. Cranial sacral therapy can be used for people of all ages. 

Side Effects and Risks of Craniosacral Therapy

The most common side effect of Craniosacral Therapy is temporary mild discomfort following the treatment that shall eventually fade within 24 hours. There are certain individuals who shouldn’t use Craniosacral Therapy. These include people who have: 

  •      Severe bleeding disorders
  •      A diagnosed aneurysm
  •      A history of recent traumatic head injuries, which  may include cranial bleeding or skull fractures

Procedures and techniques of Craniosacral Therapy

When you arrive for your appointment, we will ask you about your symptoms and any pre-existing conditions that you have. You’ll typically remain fully clothed during the treatment, so wear comfortable clothing on your appointment with us. Your session will last about an hour, and you’ll likely begin by lying down on your back on the massage table. The CranioSacral Therapist may begin at your head, feet, or near the middle of your body. Using five grams of pressure (which is about the weight of a nickel), we shall then gently hold your feet, head, or sacrum to listen to their subtle rhythms. If needed, we may gently press or reposition you to normalize the flow of the cerebrospinal fluids. They may use tissue-release methods while supporting one of your limbs. During the treatment, some people experience different sensations. These may include:

  •      Feeling deep relaxation
  •      Falling asleep, and later recalling memories or seeing colors
  •      Sensing pulsations
  •      Having a “pins and needles” (numbing) sensation
  •      Having a hot or cold sensation
