Organization's Description: CST was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E.
Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at
Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and
Professor of Biomechanics.
CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the
functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral
system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that
surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the
weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the
craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous
system.
