Craniosacral FAQ

How does CranioSacral Therapy Work?





How many sessions will I need ?

Every body is very different and when it comes to this work. Because each person is unique, the number of treatments needed to achieve desired results will vary greatly. Factors like seriousness of condition, length of time it has existed, number of surgeries /trauma, and many other factors can affect speed of outcome. As Dr. Upledger would say, "Trust the process.... Healing is a journey." Those who have the best outcomes are treated 3 times (in 7-10 days)), at first. Then follow up appointments, as needed, to maintain momentum, and resolve the problem. Deepest, fastest results come from frequent sessions. Intensive Programs (2-3 hours day for several days) are especially helpful for deeply rooted conditions. .

Will my insurance cover CST?

Yes. When appropriate and indicated, CST is a manual therapy modality that can be integrated into physical therapy sessions to reduce pain, tension, and restrictions in your tissues. In order to receive physical therapy services and have them reimbursed, you must have functional limitations (difficulty with mobility or work related duties etc.) that necessitate medical intervention. CST will be integrated with actively learning how to move, exercise, and return to functional activities when it is covered by insurance. Please feel free to call Caitlin to discuss your particular case and if the use of medical insurance is appropriate.
