Craniosacral Therapy for Headaches

If you suffer from frequent headaches or migraines, you know how much they can disrupt your life. Over-the-counter meds may dull the pain, but they don’t always fix the cause.

Craniosacral therapy (CST) offers a drug-free, gentle approach to addressing the root causes of headaches—from tension patterns to nervous system overload.


How CST Supports Headache Relief

CST works by gently releasing restrictions in the fascia, cranial bones, and membranes surrounding your brain and spinal cord. These restrictions—often caused by stress, posture, or past injuries—can affect blood flow, nerve communication, and muscle tension.

Craniosacral therapy can help:

  • Reduce muscle tension in the neck, jaw, and scalp

  • Improve circulation and cranial rhythm

  • Calm the nervous system (especially if headaches are stress-related)

  • Relieve pressure around the sinuses and eyes

  • Support migraine recovery or prevention


What to Expect in a Session

CST is performed fully clothed on a massage table. You’ll receive light, sustained holds that allow the body to unwind tension on its own. It’s deeply relaxing and often leads better sleep and improved energy levels.
