Professional Cranial Sacral Therapy

Cranial Sacral Therapy in Shelby Township, Michigan

Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) at Revive Massage and Meditation Center in Shelby Township is a gentle, non-invasive form of bodywork that focuses on the craniosacral system - the membranes (meninges) and cerebrospinal fluid that surround, protect, and nourish the brain and spinal cord. Developed by osteopathic physician Dr. John Upledger, this therapeutic approach recognizes that restrictions in the craniosacral system can affect the development and function of the central nervous system and contribute to pain, dysfunction, and poor health. Our specially trained craniosacral therapists use extremely light touch - typically no heavier than the weight of a nickel (about 5 grams of pressure) - to detect and release restrictions in the craniosacral system, particularly in the bones of the skull, spine, and sacrum. By gently working with the body's natural rhythms and the subtle movement of craniosacral fluid, we help enhance the body's natural healing abilities, improve central nervous system function, and promote profound relaxation. This subtle yet remarkably powerful technique can help alleviate chronic pain, reduce stress and tension, improve nervous system regulation, and address a wide range of health conditions. Many clients in Shelby Township and throughout Macomb County find cranial sacral therapy particularly helpful for chronic headaches and migraines, TMJ disorders and jaw tension, chronic neck and back pain, post-concussion syndrome, vertigo and tinnitus, fibromyalgia, and stress-related conditions. The extremely gentle nature of this therapy makes it suitable and safe for people of all ages, from newborn infants to seniors, and for those with conditions that make other therapies too intense.

What to Expect During Your Cranial Sacral Therapy Session

Your Cranial Sacral Therapy session at Revive Massage in Shelby Township takes place in a quiet, peaceful treatment room. You'll remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on a massage table. Your trained CST practitioner will use gentle, subtle touch - placing their hands lightly on your head, spine, sacrum, and other areas to assess the rhythm and quality of your craniosacral system. The touch is so light you may barely feel it, yet many clients report profound sensations of release, warmth, or movement. Your practitioner 'listens' with their hands for restrictions and uses gentle techniques to release them. You may experience deep relaxation, emotional release, tingling sensations, or feel your body making small adjustments. Many clients fall into a deeply meditative state or fall asleep. Sessions are typically quiet and meditative. After treatment at our Shelby Township location, you may feel profoundly relaxed, energized, or notice improvements in symptoms over the following days.
