Treatment for
ANXIETY & DEPRESSION

In Missoula, Montana

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on therapy that helps to reduce anxiety and depression. CST promotes relaxation by helping to regulate and soothe the body's Central Nervous System.  

How CST can help with Anxiety and Depression:

  • Regulates the Nervous System:
    CST helps to release tension and restrictions in the CranioSacral system, which includes the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

  • Balances the Autonomic Nervous System:
    By promoting relaxation and reducing stress, CST helps shift the body from a state of "fight or flight" (sympathetic nervous system) to "rest and digest" (parasympathetic nervous system), helping to ease anxiety and depression symptoms.

  • Reduces Physical Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression:
    CST helps release muscle tension, improves circulation, and promotes better sleep, all of which can contribute to reducing physical symptoms associated with anxiety and depression. 

Research and Evidence:

  • Studies suggest that CST can be helpful for reducing anxiety and depression, particularly in individuals with fibromyalgia or other conditions associated with chronic pain.

  • A study published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that CST significantly reduced anxiety and improved the quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia.
