Craniosacral Therapy in Denver, Colorado
Gentle, Natural Support for Stress, Pain, and Nervous System Healing
If your body feels stuck in stress mode — or you’re dealing with chronic tension, headaches, or nervous system overload — craniosacral therapy may be the reset your body needs.
At Natural Medicine of Denver, we offer craniosacral therapy as part of our whole-person approach to healing. This gentle, hands-on technique helps calm the nervous system, release stored tension, and support your body’s natural ability to restore balance.
What Is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a light-touch treatment that focuses on the head, spine, and sacrum — the areas that house your central nervous system.
Using subtle movements and gentle contact, your practitioner works to release tension in the fascia, membranes, and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This process helps your body shift from a “fight-or-flight” response into a “rest-and-digest” state, where healing and repair can truly happen.
Unlike massage, CST isn’t about muscle manipulation. It’s about tuning into the body’s rhythm and gently guiding it back to a place of ease and regulation.
Who Can Benefit from Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral therapy is safe, soothing, and suitable for people of all ages. It’s especially helpful if you’re experiencing:
- Chronic stress or anxiety
- Headaches and migraines
- Jaw tension or TMJ dysfunction
- Neck or back pain
- Fatigue or burnout
- Sensory overload or nervous system sensitivity
- Insomnia or trouble sleeping
- Recovery from injury or trauma
Many of our patients find CST to be a powerful complement to other natural therapies, helping the body integrate changes and release deep, long-held tension.
What to Expect During a Session
A typical craniosacral therapy session is relaxing and non-invasive. You’ll remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on a treatment table while your practitioner applies very light pressure, usually no more than the weight of a nickel.
Most people report feeling deeply relaxed, and some even fall asleep during the session. Afterward, it’s common to feel lighter, more grounded, and more at ease — both physically and emotionally.
The Nervous System Connection
Your nervous system plays a central role in every aspect of your health, from digestion and immune response to mental clarity and mood. But when chronic stress keeps you stuck in a heightened state, the body can’t heal effectively.
Craniosacral therapy helps reboot your nervous system by activating the parasympathetic response — the part responsible for rest, repair, and resilience. Over time, this can lead to better sleep, improved digestion, reduced pain, and greater emotional regulation.
