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.
