Women’s Health

Cranio-sacral therapy offers a gentle and holistic approach that many women find beneficial for their health and well-being.

Overall, many women find CST to be a supportive and nurturing resource during significant phases of their lives, fostering emotional resilience and balance.

CST is also beneficial for new mums. Babies are especially sensitive to how their mothers are feeling in the weeks following birth. The birth process is often traumatic for a mother, both physically and emotionally. Treatment can help with postnatal recovery and help re-align the body, support pelvic health, hormonal balance, exhaustion, or post-natal depression; easing stress and tension and improving energy levels.

Here are several benefits for women:

  • CST releases stored emotional tension and promotes relaxation throughout the body, which helps reduce stress levels. This is particularly beneficial for women juggling multiple responsibilities and experiencing overwhelm.

  • CST helps balance hormones by promoting relaxation and regulating the nervous system. Hormonal imbalances can contribute to various health issues, such as irregular menstruation, menopausal symptoms and fertility problems.

  • By working directly on the pelvis, releasing tension in the pelvic muscles and improving circulation to the area, CST helps alleviate discomfort and promotes better pelvic health, including menstrual disorders.

  • CST is used to support women preparing for pregnancy, during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. It helps alleviate pregnancy related discomfort, such as back pain and pelvic instability, and promotes overall well-being helping facilitate a smoother pregnancy, labour and birth process.

  • When a cranio-sacral therapist places their hands lightly on you during a therapy session, they are using them to listen to you in much the same way that a counsellor might listen to your words. Your body responds to this sensitive touch by beginning to listen to itself. A feeling that you have been heard in the truest sense of the word is a common experience during and after a CST session.
