CranioSacral Therapy can help with TMJ by addressing imbalances in the nervous system, releasing tension in the skull, neck, and spine, and improving the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. CST is a gentle, hands-on therapy that helps reduce muscle tension in the jaw and neck, ultimately easing pain and improving jaw movement. 

Ways That CranioSacral Therapy Can Help Support Symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction:

• CranioSacral Rhythm:
  CST focuses on the subtle rhythmic movement of the cerebrospinal fluid and surrounding membranes, which are believed to be affected by restrictions or imbalances in the body. 
  

• Nervous System Regulation:
  By gently releasing these restrictions, CST aims to improve the function of the nervous system, leading to a calmer and more regulated state. 
  

• Sensory Integration:
  A calmer nervous system can improve a person's ability to process and respond to sensory information, reducing sensory overloads and improving sensory regulation.
   

• Motor Skill Development:
  Improved nervous system function can also support motor skill development by enhancing coordination and balance. 
  

• Emotional Regulation:
  By calming the nervous system, CST may help reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and promote emotional balance. 
  

  
  Benefits for Individuals with Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction:

• CranioSacral System and Nervous System Balance:

  The CranioSacral system is a vital part of the body's nervous system, and any restrictions or imbalances in this system can contribute to various health issues, including TMJ. 
  

• Tension Release:

  Craniosacral therapy involves gentle manipulations that release tension in the bones of the skull, neck, and spine, which can cause misalignments that exacerbate TMJ. 
  

• Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Flow:

  The therapy may also normalize the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord. 
  

• Muscle Tension Relief:

  By releasing tension and improving circulation, craniosacral therapy can help relax the muscles around the jaw and neck, reducing pain and improving movement.
