Discover the Gentle Approach to Healing
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is gaining recognition as a powerful tool in the pursuit of holistic health and wellness. At The Health Suite in Leicester, we are proud to offer this gentle yet transformative therapy to help individuals overcome physical pain, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. In this blog, we’ll explore how CST works, its benefits, and why it’s becoming a go-to therapy for people of all ages.
What is Craniosacral Therapy and How Does It Work?
Craniosacral Therapy is a non-invasive, hands-on treatment that focuses on the craniosacral system—the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround the brain and spinal cord. By using a delicate touch, therapists can detect and release tension, blockages, or imbalances in this system, which can affect the entire body. During a session, the therapist applies gentle pressure to key areas such as the skull, spine, and pelvis.
This promotes the body’s natural healing processes by:
- Enhancing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid.
- Relieving tension in the tissues.
- Supporting the central nervous system.
The result? A harmonious balance that encourages physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

- Initial Consultation: Your therapist will discuss your health history, concerns, and goals to tailor the session to your needs.
- The Treatment: You’ll remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on a treatment table. The therapist will use a light touch to assess and release tension in the craniosacral system.
