CranioSacral Therapy

Gentle touch to restore balance—available at our Glendale, AZ clinic

What Is CranioSacral Therapy?

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a hands-on, light-touch technique designed to release deep tension in the body. Developed by Dr. John Upledger, this therapy works with the body’s craniosacral system—membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord—to improve nervous system function and overall well-being.

At Empirical Medicine in Glendale, Arizona, CST is part of our integrative approach to relieving chronic pain, stress, and trauma-related imbalances—naturally and gently.
