Multiple Sclerosis and Craniosacral Therapy


In Upledger CranioSacral Therapy (CST) it is assumed and has been proved that all tissues, organs, glands, cells and molecules have a consciousness and intelligence.

As such it is possible to establish a dialogue between the mind and the rest of the body to ascertain the reasons and needs of a particular disease.

With MS when the immune system is destroying the oligodendrogliocytes that produce the myelin sheath on the nerve axons this is a good starting point in opening up a dialogue between the attacking immune cells, the oligodendrogliocytes and the nerve neurons. This is a dialogue between the client and their immune system facilitated by the CranioSacral therapist and is a dialogue that the client can continue on their own.

In addition CST can be helpful in reducing urinary frequency which is often a common complaint by releasing and relaxing the tissue in the area and it can be used to improve blood flow from the head and spine to the heart if the cerebrospinal venous have narrowed.

CST can also be used to improve fluid motion in the cerebrospinal fluid, blood and lymph and balance the  bodies internal systems.
