Experience A CranioSacral Therapy Session
How a session is performed.
A CranioSacral Therapy session usually takes place in a
quiet, private setting. We recommend that clients wear loose,
comfortable clothing. Clients remain fully clothed, though
most choose to remove their shoes. The session is performed
with the client reclining on a massage or treatment table
while the practitioner stands or sits, positioned at various
times throughout the session at the client's head, middle
torso or feet.
What you may experience during a
session.
Experiences during a CST session are as individual as the
clients and practitioners themselves. They also may differ
from session to session. At times, a client may deeply relax
or even fall asleep; at other times, he or she may talk
a great deal, recalling hidden memories or expressing emotions.
Some will remain still during the entire session, hardly
noticing the practitioner's evaluation and treatment, while
others will experience sensations within the body as the
evaluation process is carried out.
At various times throughout the session,
the practitioner will support a client's limbs and spine
while facilitating release of accumulated tension. This
process is called energy cyst release or tissue release.
During this release, the client might recall circumstances
surrounding a past shock, trauma or injury. Releasing and
re-experiencing past hurts assists the body in reversing
dysfunction and restoring the previous level of mobility.
This entire process has been named SomatoEmotional Release®.
What you may experience following
a session.
Just as individuals experience CST sessions differently,
the immediate results can be diverse as well. This relaxed
state may cause some to sleep for many hours after a session.
Others may experience an increase in energy. Reduction of
pain or an increase in function may occur immediately after
the session, or it may develop gradually over the next few
days. Since CST helps the body resume its natural healing
processes, it isn't unusual for improvement to continue
weeks after the session. For some there may be a reorganization
phase as the body adapts to the release of previously held
patterns.
