Treatment to Support
SLEEP APNEA AND INSOMNIA

In Missoula, Montana

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) can help improve sleep quality issues such as sleep apnea and insomnia by reducing stress and promoting relaxation. By addressing underlying tension and restrictions in the CranioSacral System, CST can help the body move towards a more relaxed and balanced state, easing sleep disturbances. 

Here are some ways CranioSacral Therapy can help clients improve sleep quality:

  • Reduce Stress:

    CST can help reduce overall stress levels, which can contribute to sleep quality issues like insomnia and sleep apnea. Stress can disrupt the body's natural sleep-wake cycle, making it harder to fall asleep or stay asleep. 

  • Improve Relaxation:

    CST promotes relaxation by gently releasing restrictions in the CranioSacral System. Releasing restrictions can lead to a deeper state of relaxation, which can be helpful for individuals struggling sleep. 

  • Enhance Nervous System Function:

    CST can improve the function of the central nervous system by optimizing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. This can help the body regulate its natural rhythms, including sleep-wake cycles. 

  • Address Underlying Tension:

    CST can address underlying tension and restrictions in the CranioSacral System, which may contribute to sleep disturbances. By releasing these restrictions, CST can help restore a sense of balance and improve overall body function.
