What to Expect During Your Craniosacral Therapy Session
Your first session will begin with a brief consultation where your therapist will ask about your medical history, current concerns, and specific areas of tension or discomfort. This information helps tailor the treatment to your unique needs.
CST is typically performed in a calm and quiet environment. You will lie down fully clothed on a comfortable treatment table, allowing you to relax completely.
The therapist will use a light touch, usually no more than the weight of a nickel, to feel for restrictions and imbalances in the craniosacral system. Techniques may include gentle pressure, stretching, or holding specific areas.
Throughout the session, you may be encouraged to focus on your breath and tune into your body. This awareness enhances the healing process, allowing you to notice any sensations or changes as the therapist works.
After your session, you may feel deeply relaxed and at ease. Some clients experience immediate relief, while others notice gradual improvements in the days following. It’s common to feel a sense of emotional release or clarity. Drinking plenty of water post-treatment helps flush toxins and support healing.
What to Wear to Your Craniosacral Therapy Session
To ensure a comfortable and effective Craniosacral Therapy session, it’s important to wear clothing that allows for easy movement and relaxation. Here are some guidelines on what to wear:
Comfortable, Loose-Fitting Clothing
Opt for soft, breathable fabrics such as cotton or athletic wear. Loose-fitting shirts, yoga pants, or comfortable shorts are ideal choices that won’t restrict your movement. Stay away from wearing jeans, belts and tight or restrictive clothing.Layering Options
Depending on the temperature of the treatment room, consider wearing layers that you can easily adjust. A light sweater or shawl can provide additional warmth if needed.No Shoes Required
CST is typically performed without shoes. You’ll be asked to remove your shoes before lying on the treatment table, so consider wearing socks if that makes you feel more comfortable.
