What to Expect in a Craniosacral Therapy (CST) Session in India

If you’re dealing with stress, headaches, or body pain, Craniosacral Therapy (CST) can help. It’s a gentle, hands-on method that focuses on your brain, spine, and the fluid around them (cerebrospinal fluid) to improve your health and well-being.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to what happens during a CST session in India:

🧘 Step-by-Step: What Happens in a CST Session?

Step 1: Initial Consultation (10–15 Minutes)

The therapist will ask you about:

• Your medical history (any past injuries or surgeries)
• Current problems like pain, stress, or sleep issues
• What you want from the session (e.g., migraine relief, relaxation)

They may also check:

• How you stand or walk
  
• Your cranial rhythm to find tight or stuck areas in your body

Step 2: The Therapy Session (45–60 Minutes)

• You will lie fully clothed on a massage table in a quiet, peaceful room.
• The therapist will use very light touches (as light as 5–10 grams) on your:
  • Head (skull bones)
  • Spine and lower back
    
  • Joints (jaw, pelvis, diaphragm)

What You Might Feel:

• Light pulsing or movement
  
• Warmth or tingling
  
• A deep sense of relaxation
  
• Some people may even feel emotional or remember old memories

The therapist does not force any movements. They simply follow your body’s signals.

Step 3: After the Session (10–15 Minutes)

After the session, the therapist may:

• Share what they noticed (e.g., tightness in your hip)
• Give simple tips like drinking water, resting, or doing light stretches
  

Common Results After CST:

• Quick relief from headaches or neck pain
  
• Feeling tired or emotional
  
• Better sleep and digestion within a day or two

🔬 How Craniosacral Therapy Works

CST may be gentle, but it can have strong effects. It helps by:

• Releasing tight tissues in your body
• Calming your nervous system (puts you in “rest and heal” mode)
• Improving the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which helps your brain and spine work better

✅ Who Should Try CST in India?

This therapy can help many people, like:

• ✅ Office workers with back or neck pain
• ✅ New moms recovering after childbirth
• ✅ People with chronic pain, like migraines or fibromyalgia
• ✅ Those with anxiety or sleep problems
  
• ✅ People healing from injuries or surgeries
  

💰 Cost and Sessions in India

• Cost per session: ₹1,500 – ₹4,000
• Recommended: 3–6 sessions, once a week or every two weeks for long-term issues

🚫 What CST Does NOT Do

• ❌ No cracking or sharp movements (not like chiropractic treatment)
• ❌ It doesn’t give diagnoses or prescribe medicine
  CST is a supportive therapy, not a replacement for medical care.

🌟 Tips for First-Time Clients

• Avoid heavy food or coffee before your session
• Keep a journal to track how you feel after each session
• Don’t wait for things to get worse—try CST early!
