Our task when doing CST is to provide support in a safe environment for the client, allowing the client and therapist to engage together in the healing process. With enough support and safety, the client’s tissue will begin to change – if change is appropriate. As CST therapists, we provide that support and safety by being neutral, by being present, and by staying within our scope of practice. Be aware of the line between what is in your scope and what is not. Make sure you understand the nature of the SER process and remain neutral when dialoguing. Always remember that we are manual therapists. We are there to facilitate changes in the tissue.

Normal extension and skull expansion is a synchronized process that prevails along the osteogenic intersections of the cranial sutures. Cranial sutures operate as bone growth sites allowing swift bone generation at the edges of the bone fronts while they remain patent. Premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures can trigger craniosyn-ostosis, a birth defect characterized by dramatic manifestations in appearance and functional impairment.

Scientific literature demonstrates how osteopathic manipulative treatments(OMT) are able to improve various somatic functional parameters, change somato-visceral and viscero-somatic reflexes toward a more physiological mechano-metabolic environment and, consequently, bring benefits to patients. These benefits can be long-lasting or short-lived. Multiple reasons can be found to explain the positive responses to OMT, ranging from neurological, vascular, lymphatic, and endocrine explanations.

The central nervous system is lined by meninges, classically known as dura, arachnoid, and pia mater. We show the existence of a fourth meningeal layer that compartmentalizes the subarachnoid space in the mouse and human brain, designated the subarachnoid lymphatic-like membrane (SLYM). SLYM is morpho- and immunophenotypically similar to the mesothelial membrane lining of peripheral organs and body cavities, and it encases blood vessels and harbors immune cells.

CranioSacral Therapy is among the gentlist touch of modalities, anecdotal evidence of it's effectiveness abounds, and a growing body of scientific research supports its efficacy.Three CST practitioners discuss all about CranioSacral Therapy in this article.
