Craniosacral Therapy

Gentle Touch. Profound Healing.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) at Frisco Massage Therapy offers a quiet, deeply relaxing approach to restoring balance throughout the body. Using light, hands-on techniques, this therapy helps release restrictions in the craniosacral system — the network of membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

CST supports the central nervous system, helping to ease pain, improve mobility, and encourage deep relaxation. It is effective for clients experiencing headaches, TMJ discomfort, stress, anxiety, injury recovery, or chronic pain.

Each session is gentle, deeply calming, and personalized to the client’s unique needs.

Understanding Craniosacral Therapy

The craniosacral system includes the bones of the skull, spine, and sacrum, as well as the cerebrospinal fluid that cushions and nourishes the brain and spinal cord. This fluid creates a rhythmic motion — often called the craniosacral rhythm — that can be felt throughout the body.

When this rhythm is restricted by tension, injury, or stress, the nervous system becomes overactive, and the body’s ability to self-correct is reduced. Craniosacral Therapy helps restore the natural flow of cerebrospinal fluid and balance the body’s rhythm, allowing the nervous system to reset and heal.

By supporting the body’s inherent self-healing mechanisms, CST promotes long-lasting balance from the inside out.

Craniosacral therapy has been shown to be beneficial for people seeking help with a wide range of healthcare challenges and symptoms including:

Migraines, Headaches
Chronic Pain
Motor-Coordination Impairments
Central Nervous System Disorders
Orthopedic Problems
Traumatic Brain Injuries and Concussions

Spinal Cord Injuries
Scoliosis
Conception, Pregnancy, Birth
Pediatric Challenges
Learning Differences, ADD, ADHD
Autism and Sensory Processing
Chronic Fatigue

Immune Disorders

Why Clients Choose Frisco Massage Therapy for CST

At Frisco Massage Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy is performed by trained therapists who understand the delicate relationship between the nervous system, fascia, and fluid movement. Each session is guided by intuition, skill, and anatomical knowledge.

Therapists listen with their hands, gently identifying areas of restriction or imbalance. Rather than forcing change, they support the body in releasing tension naturally.

This subtle approach allows clients to reach a state of deep rest — often described as feeling like meditation for the body.

What to Expect During a Session

Craniosacral Therapy sessions are quiet and calming. Clients remain fully clothed and recline comfortably on the massage table.

During the Session:

The therapist places their hands lightly on specific points such as the skull, spine, or sacrum.
Subtle movements are used to assess the rhythm and flow of cerebrospinal fluid.
Gentle techniques are applied to release restrictions in the fascia and membranes.
Clients may feel warmth, pulsing, or soft movement as tension melts away.

Many clients drift into a state of deep relaxation or light sleep during their session. The experience is noninvasive and completely pain-free.

Afterward, clients often report feeling calm, clear, and renewed — both physically and emotionally.

Conditions Supported by Craniosacral Therapy

CST can support a wide range of conditions and symptoms by addressing the root cause of nervous system imbalance.

Headaches and Migraines

CST releases restrictions in the cranial and neck tissues that contribute to recurring headaches. Gentle adjustments to fluid flow and alignment often provide lasting relief.

TMJ Dysfunction

Craniosacral work around the jaw and skull helps ease tension in the temporomandibular joint, reducing clicking, tightness, and pain.

Neck and Back Pain

By restoring alignment and reducing fascial restriction, CST relieves pressure along the spine and sacrum, improving posture and comfort.

Stress and Anxiety

CST activates the parasympathetic nervous system — the body’s natural relaxation response — helping clients release emotional tension and regain calm.

Sleep and Fatigue Issues

The balancing effect of CST often improves sleep quality and energy levels, promoting consistent rest and recovery.

Post-Trauma or Injury Recovery

CST helps the body integrate physical and emotional trauma, gently supporting the healing of tissues and the nervous system.

Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia

For clients managing long-term pain, CST offers a gentle way to reduce stress, increase mobility, and enhance overall comfort without aggravating symptoms.

The Science Behind CST

Craniosacral Therapy is grounded in osteopathic principles — the understanding that structure and function are interrelated and that the body has the inherent ability to heal itself.

The technique works through subtle interaction with the fascia (the connective tissue network) and cerebrospinal fluid. When restrictions in these systems are released, circulation improves, and the body’s communication pathways function more efficiently.

Recent studies suggest that CST can help regulate heart rate variability and reduce cortisol levels, indicating measurable improvements in nervous system function and stress response.

At Frisco Massage Therapy, CST is used as a clinical tool for recovery and a holistic method for maintaining long-term health.
