Craniosacral Therapy

Restore Balance. Reclaim Wellness

Are you experiencing persistent stress, chronic pain, recurring headaches, or difficulty recovering from injury? Craniosacral Therapy (CST) may be the missing component in your treatment plan. This evidence-informed, hands-on modality targets the central nervous system — the command centre of the body — to facilitate lasting relief and restore optimal function.

What Is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy is available at Health plus Chiropractic in Parramatta and is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on treatment that releases tension held within the central nervous system. By working with the craniosacral system — the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord — CST encourages the nervous system to rebalance, allowing all other body systems to function more effectively.

When the nervous system is in balance, the body can relax, self-correct, and heal. CST uses a light touch — no greater than the weight of a coin — making it suitable for patients of all ages and health backgrounds.

Clinical Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy

Research and clinical experience support the following benefits of CST:

  • Alleviates chronic pain and musculoskeletal tension
  • Reduces stress and anxiety
  • Induces deep physiological relaxation
  • Improves sleep quality and duration
  • Enhances emotional regulation and well-being
  • Supports recovery from neurological and physical trauma
  • Promotes whole-body wellness and resilience

Who Can Benefit from CST?

CST is clinically indicated for a broad range of conditions, including:

  • Migraines and chronic headaches
  • Neck and back pain
  • TMJ / jaw pain
  • Sinusitis
  • Tinnitus and middle ear problems
  • Stress and tension-related disorders
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Motor-coordination impairments
  • Digestive disorders and colic
  • Brain and spinal cord injuries
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Insomnia
  • Fibromyalgia

CST is equally valuable as a preventive and wellness practice. Many clients incorporate regular sessions into their health routine to maintain nervous system balance, improve mental clarity, and support long-term well-being.

What to Expect in Your Session

Your CST session will take place in a calm, private setting. You will remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on a padded massage table. Bolsters are available for optimal positioning.

A typical session runs for 60 minutes. Using a light, precise touch, your therapist will assess and address tension patterns and imbalances throughout the craniosacral system. The experience varies from person to person — many describe a profound sense of relaxation, while others notice gentle unwinding sensations as the body releases held tension.

Your first appointment is scheduled as a 75-minute evaluation and treatment, during which your complete health history will be reviewed and an individualised plan of care developed.

Session Fees

Initial Visit — 75 Minutes: $150

Includes a comprehensive evaluation, treatment, discussion of findings, and a personalised plan of care. A complimentary consultation call is available prior to booking.

Follow-Up Sessions — 60 Minutes: $135

A treatment plan typically spans multiple sessions, allowing for a gradual deepening of therapeutic work as your body adjusts and responds. Together, we identify and address the underlying root cause of presenting issues.

Integrating CST with Other Therapies

Craniosacral Therapy is designed to complement your existing care plan. Many clients find significant benefit in integrating CST alongside:

  • Chiropractic care
  • Physical therapy
  • Acupuncture
  • Massage therapy
  • Mental health therapies

Please inform all treating practitioners of your current therapies to ensure a fully coordinated approach to your care.

Maintaining Results Between Sessions

The most effective tool for preserving the benefits of CST between appointments is breathwork. A simple, evidence-based technique:

  • Inhale for a count of 3
  • Exhale for a count of 6
  • Repeat for 5–10 breaths

This extended exhale activates the parasympathetic nervous system, shifting the body from a stress response (“fight or flight”) to a state of calm (“rest and digest”). It is free, portable, and effective — practice it throughout your day whenever stress arises.
