CranioSacral Therapy was originated from Osteopathy. During 1975-1983, Dr. John E. Upledger conducted a lot of research on the craniosacral system at Michigan State University; he added other techniques based on cranial osteopathy to further integrate and develop the existing Craniosacral Therapy is also the first Osteopath to promote this therapy to other medical staff and the general public.

 

What is the craniosacral system?

 

The craniofacial system refers to the physiological tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord, including the fascia in the entire skull and spine, the spinal cord, and the cerebrospinal fluid flowing in the fascia.

 

CranioSacral Therapy (CST)

 

Craniosacral therapy is a light-touch technique to evaluate and improve the function of the cranio-sacral system and related fascia. Using a very light touch, the therapist assists in releasing the resistance in the craniosacral system, allowing the cerebrospinal fluid to resume rhythmic flow, thereby improving the functioning of the central nervous system and then balancing the physiological functions of the entire body.

 

Through its effects on the central nervous system and complementing the body's self-healing process, craniosacral therapy has proven to strengthen the overall health of the body, effectively enhance the body's ability to resist disease, and treat a wide range of physical and mental health issues.

 

For example: headache, neck and lower back pain, sciatica, scoliosis, dizziness, tinnitus, chronic pain syndrome, orthopedic problems, chronic fatigue, emotional disorders, chronic sinus infections, stress and tension related problems, brain & spinal cord injury, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, post-traumatic stress disorder, fibromyalgia and other connective tissue disorders, sleep disorders or insomnia, digestive problems, acute or chronic sports injuries , menstrual pain, arthritis, allergies, hormonal disorders, neurovascular or immune system disorders, infant development disorders, autism, etc.

髗骶骨治療起源於整骨療法 (Osteopathy)。在1975-1983年期間，Dr. John E. Upledger在密歇根州立大学(Michigan State University)進行了大量關於髗骶系統的研究；他在髗骨整骨療法的基礎上加進了其他技巧，進一步整合及發展成現有的髗骶骨治療(Craniosacral Therapy)，亦為第一位將這種療法推廣給其他醫護人員及大眾的整骨醫生 (Osteopath)。

 

什麼是髗骶系統？

 

髗骶系統是指包圍着腦與脊髓的生理組織，包括整個頭顱和脊柱內的筋膜，脊髓及流動於筋膜內腦脊液。

 

髗骶骨治療 (CST)

 

髗骶骨治療法是一種輕觸式的手法治療去評估和提高髗骶系統及相關筋膜的功能。使用一個很輕力的觸摸，治療師協助釋放顱骶系統內的阻力，使腦脊液能恢復有節奏的流動，從而改善中樞神經系統的運作，繼而平衡全身的生理機能。

 

透過對中樞神經系統的影響及補足人體的自我康復過程，髗骶骨治療證明了能加強身體的整體健康，有效增強人體抵抗疾病能力和治療廣泛的身心健康問題。

 

例如：頭痛，頸部和腰部疼痛，坐骨神經痛，脊柱側彎，眩暈，耳鳴，慢性疼痛綜合症，骨科問題，慢性疲勞，情緒失調，慢性鼻竇感染，壓力和緊張有關的問題，腦和脊髓損傷，顳下頜關節功能障礙，創傷後精神緊張性障礙，纖維肌痛和其他結締組織疾病，睡眠障礙或失眠，消化系統的問題，急性或慢性運動損傷，經痛，關節炎，過敏症，荷爾蒙失調，神經血管或免疫系統疾病，嬰幼兒發展障礙，自閉症等
