What is Craniosacral Therapy?
In today's fast-paced world, our bodies often carry more stress and strain than we realize.
Headaches, jaw tension, chronic pain, anxiety, poor sleep—all of these can be signs that the nervous system is overwhelmed.
One therapy that addresses these issues in a uniquely gentle way is craniosacral therapy (CST). And at Priority Physical Therapy, our therapists—including Dr. Tiffany—specialize in this deeply healing work.
What Is Craniosacral Therapy?
CST is a light-touch, non-invasive therapy that works with the craniosacral system—the membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord (nervous system). By releasing restrictions in this system, CST helps your body's natural healing processes function more effectively.
Touch is healing…the right touch can change your life.
How It Works
During a session, our therapists use subtle, very specific hand placements—often on the head, spine, or sacrum—to detect and release patterns of tension. Dr. Tiffany brings years of expertise to this gentle practice. Many people describe the experience as deeply relaxing, even meditative. Our CST techniques focus on the nervous system and its response to light touch. Patients often experience relief from symptoms in places the therapist isn't even touching—that's how connected your body truly is. The goal is to help reset your body's natural healing response and calm your nervous system, moving you out of that "fight or flight" mentality.
Fun fact: Research has proven that the same amount of energy produced between our therapists' hands when touching another person is the same energy required to create positive healing changes in tissues. No wonder kids run to their parents to "kiss the boo-boo" after an injury. The parent really DOES have a healing touch!
Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy
Our therapists support a wide range of conditions and wellness goals, including:
✔️ Relief from headaches, migraines, and TMJ dysfunction
✔️ Stress and anxiety
✔️ Sleep and nervous system regulation
✔️ Support during recovery from injury or surgery or post MVA/whiplash

Why Try CST?
Unlike more aggressive treatments, CST allows your body to guide the healing process. Our therapists work with your system, not against it—making it safe and effective for people of all ages…"from womb to tomb" 🙂
If you're looking for a holistic way to restore balance, ease discomfort, and reconnect with your body, craniosacral therapy may be exactly what you need.
