Slow down, switch off and reconnect with your body through Craniosacral Therapy, a gentle, light-touch treatment designed to encourage deep relaxation and release everyday tension.
Craniosacral Therapy, or CST, is a gentle form of hands-on bodywork centred around the head, spine and sacrum.
Stress, physical injury and trauma can create restrictions within the body that affect this natural rhythm. Rather than using force or deep pressure, your therapist works with an exceptionally light touch to identify areas of restriction and gently encourage the body to release them.
One of the key elements of CST is the stillpoint, a moment of deep stillness where the craniosacral rhythm temporarily pauses. Through carefully placed holds, your therapist encourages the body towards this state, allowing the nervous system time to settle and rebalance.
You remain fully clothed throughout the treatment, ideally wearing loose, comfortable clothing.
Your therapist begins by gently monitoring your craniosacral rhythm at different points of the body, from the head through to the sacrum, taking time to identify areas where movement or flow may feel restricted.
Using touch as light as approximately five grams, your therapist applies gentle, specific holds designed to encourage restrictions within the craniosacral system to soften and release.
At certain points, this may encourage a stillpoint, where the natural rhythm temporarily pauses and the body is given an opportunity to deeply settle and self-correct.
As your body relaxes, you may notice warmth, subtle shifts or a feeling of heaviness as deeply held patterns begin to release.
Many clients find themselves entering a peaceful state somewhere between waking and sleeping. You may also experience a sense of physical or emotional unwinding as stored tension gradually lets go.

The effects of Craniosacral Therapy can continue to unfold after your treatment, so give yourself a little time to ease back into the rest of your day.
Take a Moment to Reset
You may leave your session feeling exceptionally relaxed or even slightly spaced out. This can be part of the body's response as your nervous system continues to settle and recalibrate.
Keep Movement Gentle
Avoid intense exercise for the remainder of the day where possible. A gentle walk can be a lovely way to stay mobile while allowing your body time to integrate the release from your session.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water following your treatment to support hydration and the healthy circulation of cerebrospinal fluid.
I had a craniosacral therapy and massage session with Dmytro and felt a real shift. It was gentle but surprisingly deep - I left feeling calmer, lighter, and more balanced. Highly recommend if you're dealing with stress or body tension.
