CranioSacral Therapy (CST) can support conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery. CST works by gently addressing the body's CranioSacral system, which is composed of the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This CranioSacral system plays a vital role in your body's overall health and can be impacted by stress, trauma, and other factors affecting fertility, pelvic floor function, and birth. By releasing tension and restoring balance, CST can support these natural birth processes. 

Ways That CranioSacral Therapy Can Help Support Conception, Pregnancy, Birth, and Post-Partum Health

• Conception:

  CST can help reduce stress and balance hormones, which can be crucial for supporting fertility. It can also address any physical or emotional blockages that might be interfering with conception. 

• Pregnancy:

  CST can help alleviate common pregnancy discomforts like back pain, pelvic pain, and headaches. It can also support optimal fetal positioning and promote overall balance in the body. 

• Pelvic Floor:

  CST can help release tension in the pelvic floor muscles, which can improve pelvic health and prevent complications during birth. 

• Childbirth:

  During labor, CST can help balance the pelvis, uterus, and sacrum, easing the birthing process and encouraging a smoother delivery. 

• Postpartum:

  CST supports the body's recovery after childbirth by restoring balance and addressing any lingering musculoskeletal or emotional imbalances.
