Frequently Asked Questions
What is craniosacral therapy (CST)? What is it good for?
Craniosacral therapy (CST) uses light touch and gentle movement that works with the body’s nervous system and connective tissue (fascia) to help the flow of energy and fluids in the body. Someone receiving CST typically lies face up on a massage table, fully clothed. CST can help support people suffering from headaches and/or migraines, TMJ, post-concussive syndrome, nerve pain, chronic pain, and helps supports healing in the body.
Do you offer CST treatments at PCA?
When?
How much does it cost?
CST treatments are not a regular offering at PCA but are available when Cris (our craniosacral provider) is able to fit them into her schedule.
CST treatments happen outside of PCA’s acupuncture clinical hours.
Craniosacral treatments are on a sliding scale $75-$125 and last about an hour. There is a $30 late cancellation fee for CST and we ask for 24hours notice.
How do I make an appointment for craniosacral therapy?
When appointments are available our front desk staff will be able to schedule you an appointment by phone or in-person. Typically blocks of 5 or 6 appointments will be offered over a 10-12 week period. These appointments will be available on a first come basis.
To see when CST are being offered navigate to the online scheduler, click on the picture of Cris, select “Cranio Sacral Therapy” as treatment type. This will show you when available appointment times are for CST, but you will still have to call our front desk to schedule.
Anything else I need to know for a CST?
Please allow for at least 24 hours cancellation. The late cancel fee for CST appointments is $30.
Wear loose comfortable clothes.
Please do NOT wear strongly scented products to your session.
