Subtle therapy. powerful results
At CSI Therapies Sandton, Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on treatment designed to support your nervous system, release deep tension, and restore natural balance within the body.
Using a light, precise touch, this therapy works with the craniosacral system – the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord – encouring the body’s own healing response.
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
CST is a subtle yet powerful technique that focuses on releasing restrictions in the head (cranium), spine, and sacrum.
By improving the function of the central nervous system, CST helps regulate stress responses, ease discomfort, and promote deep relaxation.
It is suitable for adults, teens and individuals seeking a calm, non-invasive therapy option.
