During a typical CST Session:
The client is fully clothed, reclining on a massage table in a quiet, private setting. A treatment is typically one hour, but you may request a one and a half hour treatment. Maureen will sit or stand positioned at various points of your head, torso or feet. At times, she will support your limbs and spine, while helping your body release accumulated tension.
What you experience during a CST session is highly individual. Some say they feel deeply relaxed and grounded, 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 is perfectly normal, and helps the body reverse dysfunction and restore optimal levels of mobility.
Because each individual response to CST is unique, the number of sessions needed to resolve any particular condition varies widely. While one session may give you the relief you need, your situation may require more therapy before it’s completely alleviated.
After the Session:
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 reorganization phase as your body releases previously held patterns and adapts to a new state of wellness.
