The benefits of postpartum cranio-sacral therapy

Cranio-sacral therapy (CST) is a form of manual therapy that focuses on the craniosacral system, which consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. 

CST is believed to have a number of potential benefits for postpartum women, including:

1. Reducing stress and tension: CST may help to reduce stress and tension in the body, which can be particularly beneficial for postpartum women who may be experiencing high levels of stress and emotional upheaval.

2. Improving sleep: CST may help to improve sleep quality, which can be beneficial for postpartum women who may be experiencing sleep disturbances.

3. Reducing pain: CST may help to reduce pain and discomfort in the body, including common postpartum issues such as back pain and abdominal discomfort.

4. Improving emotional well-being: CST may help to improve emotional well-being by promoting relaxation and reducing stress.

It’s important to note that while CST may provide some benefits, it is not a substitute for medical care.

 If you are experiencing postpartum issues, it’s important to speak with a healthcare provider for proper treatment and care.
