CRANIAL SACRAL THERAPY IN MARKHAM

Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) is a remarkably gentle, hands-on approach that evaluates and enhances the functioning of the craniosacral system—the protective membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect your brain and spinal cord. At Form & Function Markham, our skilled Osteopathic Manual Practitioners use a very light touch (about the weight of a nickel) to carefully examine these membranes and the movement of the fluids in and around the central nervous system.

Every day, your body endures stresses and strains that it must work to compensate for. Unfortunately, these changes often cause body tissues to tighten and distort the craniosacral system, which can create restrictions and negatively impact the performance of your brain and spinal cord. By delicately releasing these restrictions, Cranial Sacral Therapy helps alleviate a wide variety of dysfunctions, from chronic pain to deep-seated stress, allowing your entire body to relax and self-correct.

 Because of its profound effect on the central nervous system, Cranial Sacral Therapy is highly effective for addressing:

• Migraines & Chronic Headaches: Releasing tension in the head and neck to significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of severe headaches and migraines.

• TMJ Dysfunction & Jaw Pain: Gently alleviating the tightness and structural imbalances in the jaw and facial bones that cause clicking, clenching, and pain.

• Post-Concussion Syndrome: Supporting the brain’s natural healing process and reducing lingering symptoms like brain fog, dizziness, and light sensitivity following a head injury.

• Chronic Neck & Back Pain: Releasing restrictions along the spinal cord and nervous system to provide deep relief from stubborn, long-standing musculoskeletal pain.

• Stress, Anxiety & Nervous System Dysregulation: Promoting a profound state of relaxation, helping to shift the body out of a “fight or flight” stress response and into a state of deep rest and recovery.
