Not feeling like yourself lately? Whatever your particular ache, pain, or chronic malady, know that many Canadians are turning towards an alluring form of alternative therapy. It's called cranial sacral therapy, and it works by targeting a vital system in your body that you may not even know exists. Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST), a complementary medical practice, is a gentle method of detection and correction that works by encouraging your body's own natural healing mechanisms. During therapy, a practitioner will apply light touches to deliberately targeted points on a patient's body — particularly the skull, face and spine. "What you're doing is balancing the body's systems," notes Maria Radatus, a Registered Massage Therapist and practitioner of CST in Windsor. "The body always wants to heal itself. Once a barrier is unblocked, and the body is more aligned, then the situation helps themselves become normal."
