What is CST?

CST uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of fluids in and around the central nervous system. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity.

The focus of CST is a gentle placement of hands to assist release of the body’s connective tissue, or “fascia.” Fascia (Latin word for “band”) is a covering found throughout the body including organs, glands, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, brain and spinal cord. This covering forms a body-wide connective network. CST is based on the idea that the body is interrelated at all levels.

CST is thought to improve efficiency of biological processes through boosting inherent self-regulation, self-correction and self-healing. The therapy can be used successfully with children and adults.

 

What can I expect in a session?

A CST session is similar to massage therapy, except you stay fully clothed, and is a very light touch. 

​

The treatment session begins with a consultation to identify troubled areas. Soft music and low lighting are often used to increase your state of relaxation. 

​

The therapist uses gentle pressure techniques to assess the existence of possible disruptions and/or restrictions in your fascial system. Light touch and fascial release may help your muscles and organs naturally relieve stress, which improves function. Other patients often report feeling a sense of deep relaxation.

Is CST covered by insurance?

 

Unfortunately CST is not covered by insurance. An out-of-pocket payment is required prior to treatment.

 

The cost for a 1 hour session is $100, or $60 for 30 minutes
