Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) at Deluca Massage is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on healing technique that offers profound relief by balancing the craniosacral system—which encompasses the bones, nerves, fluids, and connective tissues of the skull and spinal area. This highly specialized therapy supports your body’s innate healing processes, making it an ideal, non-forceful form of Massage Therapy.

CST is the best massage option for clients seeking relief from deeply rooted tension, headaches, or stress that traditional deep-tissue work might exacerbate. Our Massage in DC specialists use this technique to address neurological and stress-related issues with exceptional subtlety and expertise. Non-Invasive Deep Work: Unlike a typical Body Massage, this technique uses light, sustained pressure (often no more than 5 grams) to identify and release restrictions around the brain and spinal cord, offering comfort where firm pressure is unsuitable. Targeting Chronic Stress: CST is specifically effective at improving nervous system function, making it ideal for clients dealing with high stress, chronic fatigue, and sleep disturbances (more effective than just a Relaxing Massage). Holistic Relief: By balancing the core of the nervous system, this therapy often helps alleviate peripheral symptoms like persistent headaches, jaw tension, and neck stiffness, areas often involved in Back Massage pain patterns.
