If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, chronic tension, or a nervous system that won’t seem to settle, CranioSacral Therapy (CST) offers a gentle, calming approach that works with your body—not against it.
At Wake Medical Massage in Cary, NC, sessions are slow, light-touch, and deeply supportive—helping your body shift toward relaxation, balance, and improved function.
For clients dealing with deeper structural tension, CST may be combined with Myofascial Release or Trigger Point Therapy, depending on your comfort and goals.
What is CranioSacral Therapy?
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique that works with the craniosacral system—the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
- Light touch (about the weight of a nickel)
- Non-invasive and deeply relaxing
- Supports nervous system regulation
- Performed fully clothed
Rather than forcing change, CST helps your body release tension naturally and restore balance.
Your care is provided by a NC Board Licensed Medical Massage Therapist trained in CranioSacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute, with experience working alongside healthcare providers and supporting clients with complex medical conditions, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain.
Who Is CranioSacral Therapy For?
- Chronic stress, anxiety, or nervous system overload
- Headaches, migraines, or TMJ-related tension
- Neck and upper back tightness
- Sensitive clients who do not tolerate deep pressure
- Post-surgical or medically complex conditions (with clearance)
- Sleep disturbances or difficulty relaxing
How CranioSacral Therapy Supports You
Long-term stress and tension can affect posture, breathing, digestion, sleep, and overall comfort.
CST works gently with your body to:
- Calm the nervous system
- Reduce physical tension patterns
- Improve tissue mobility
- Support relaxation and recovery
What to Expect During Your Session
- Consultation: Review your concerns, history, and goals
- Gentle treatment: Light-touch techniques focused on the head, spine, and nervous system
- Deep relaxation: Sessions are slow, quiet, and calming
- Aftercare: Simple recommendations to support your progress
Many clients leave feeling more relaxed, centered, and at ease in their body.
If your symptoms are more structurally driven (tight fascia or muscle knots), you may also benefit from Myofascial Release Therapy.
How Often Should You Come?
Some clients feel noticeable relaxation after one session, while others benefit from a short series.
A common starting point is:
- 1 session per week for 2–3 weeks
- Then reassess based on your response
