CST is a light-touch manual therapy that gently restores movement and balance. It evaluates and enhances the function of structures surrounding the central nervous system. With its grounded approach, it is a profoundly relaxing way to nourish the whole person. It attunes to the tissues of the body to decompress, sooth, and release pain and integrate the effects of injury and trauma. CST supports the innate ability to self-care, which improves coping mechanisms for stress management. CST complements other bodywork, methods, therapies, and medical care. It is gentle and effective for prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric developmental stages, and has been increasingly sought to help a wide range of problems.
