Frequently Asked Questions
There are certain situations where the application of CST would not be recommended. These include conditions where a variation and/or slight increase in intracranial pressure would cause instability for example non-shunted hydrocephaly, acute aneurysm, recent skull fracture, recent cerebral hemorrhage or other pre-existing severe bleeding disorders that could be affected by small intracranial pressure changes.
Each individual response to CST is unique, the number of sessions needed to resolve any condition varies widely. While one session may give you some relief from your symptoms, your situation may require more therapy before it is completely alleviated, even those cases that may appear similar to your own.
A typical CST session lasts from 45 minutes to an hour, and takes place in a quiet, private treatment room. As a client you remain fully clothed as you relax on a comfortable, padded treatment table. I will stand or sit positioned at various points of your head, torso or feet. At times I may also support your limbs and spine while helping your body release accumulated tension.
What you experience during a CST session is highly individual. Some people say they feel deeply relaxed, while others describe feeling unwinding sensations as the body releases tension. You may even recall circumstances surrounding a past trauma or injury that caused your body stress. While it doesn't occur in every session, this aspect of the process called SomatoEmotional Release® is perfectly normal and helps the body reverse dysfunction and restore optimal levels of mobility.
Just as each individual experiences CST sessions differently, the results can be diverse as well. You may leave in such a relaxed state that you feel like sleeping for hours. Or you may leave full of boundless energy. You may feel a decrease in pain or an increase in function immediately after the session, or the effects may develop gradually over the next few days.
Since CST helps the body resume its natural healing processes, it's common for your improvements to continue weeks after the session. You may also experience a reorganisation phase as your body releases previously held tensions and changes to a new state of well-being.
