- Cranial work, and craniosacral therapy in particular, are powerful healing tools that bodyworkers of all types can use to help people relax, relieve pain, regulate their nervous system, and transform.
It's great for headaches, jaw (TMJ) problems, pain and restriction anywhere in the body, it's safe and gentle, and it's deeply relaxing and regenerating.
This video is a long explanation of how and why this tool is used, and what kind of results and outcomes patients and providers can expect.
Thanks for watching, we welcome your comments and questions!

❤️
Athena Jezik was big into this before her passing. Thanks so much for explaining this therapy.
Ahhhhhh, a nice long session with the Good Doctah R! Thank you for your wonderful work and you fantastic voice!
Awesome work yet again Dr Russ.
I’m so happy I just came across this because I just finished taking CST1 today! It was AMAZING, and it has a very different approach from the heavy handed palpation we’re used to seeing.
I remember that feeling! CST is so powerful and exciting and different. I hope you have a great time doing great things for people. Keep in touch and let us know how I can help you succed. The world needs this work!
@@DrRussInYourPocketIt sometimes makes me wonder about a lot of the other stuff I’ve learned about neuromuscular therapy if I really even need to use it. But I do also like getting my hands on some tissues, and I really enjoy trigger point work. I can feel the rhythm on the head pretty well, but I sometimes struggle feeling it at the ankles. I figure it will come in time.
So good! I’m a little squeamish about veins and arteries, so the beginning is good exposure therapy haha
Wonderful, thank you ❤
So happy I found your YT. Love your explanation. Simple and to the point. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. I do I have a question, is there any recommended or not after a CS session? Thank you.
It really depends! If the patient receives this work regularly, then I say go about your day. If it's the first or second session, and this is new work, and they get deeply relaxed for the first time in maybe months or years, I recommend a nice walk or a nap. Always good nourishing food and plenty of water on treatment days. Thank you for the question and thank you for your kind feedback. be well!
Fascinating watch as always Doc. Thanks for posting. Enjoy these longer explanatory videos
I’m glad thank you!!! I like doing them 😊😊
love your videos
Mine is a more unusual case. I had a spheno-orbital meningioma on right side. Tumor behind eye was 2 cm and compressing the optic nerve. Tumor cells also invaded the right greater sphenoid wing and turned it to mush. It had to be drilled out. I have had many issues since. Have been doing Vision Therapy for over a year. Been getter CST for a few months to keep the right side from being stuck and not pumping the CSF. Slowly getting ambient vision back along with balance. Still a ways to go.
Thank you for sharing your experience. May you continue to recover and find support for your well being.
was this after a covid shot?
How would one contact you?
I love your work!!! When trying to find someone who does this style of bodywork (in all aspects that you do) what should I look for in a provider? I live in Bakersfield, CA and the providers in this area are extremely limited. I don't know exactly what to ask for when looking into places that practices will understand what I'm asking for.
It’s all about Google and feeling the vibes from them website. Look for craniosacral therapy and myofascial release and go from there. You might find more massage therapists than chiros doing it.
Can you recommend a type of healer that deal with swallowing issues.
My husband's throat tightens and starts to choke when he eats meat ...he says it's not gerd .
Thank you
@@micheleaustin794 does he drink alcohol? It may irritate the esophagus and causes difficulty swallowing dense foods like meat
@kristibi7971 rarely drinks
My first thought might be a speech and language pathologist. They are not bodyworkers but they do help folks with swallowing issues. My second thought is someone with good hands and thorough knowledge of the neck and how to work the delicate tissues around the throat. I wish healing for your husband.
Can this release tension/ restrictions in the eye muscles?
Definitely!
Would this be a safe and beneficial therapy for someone with IIH (idiopathic intercranial hypertension)?
That's a very good question. IIH presents a relative contraindication, meaning that any cranial work should be done a tiny bit at a time with the patient's response closely monitored over weeks, and ideally would be done with the collaboration of the patient's neurologist to ensure that the therapy was safe. If the neurologist said to avoid the therapy, I would avoid the therapy. Thank you so much for your question, I hope you find answers and solutions to your issues!
I’m reading on wiki CST being dangerous and people have died but that doesn’t seem to be what you’re doing here so I’m confused 😅
It seems like chiropractic treatment varies a lot from provider to provider. Before finding Dr. Russ’s videos I was skeptical of the whole practice. There’s one point in this video (can’t find the time stamp) where Dr. Russ talks about the risk of moving the head of your patient back and sideways, and he seems to mainly focus on gentle pressure rather than hard neck adjustments. Meanwhile, some less careful chiropractors just crank on people’s necks with no safety consideration at all. Dr. Russ’s treatment philosophy seems to be that safety is most important.
From what I understand, American chiropractors are still.using the very old and outdated practices like cracking necks and spines. The chirps I've been to in other countries found it very disturbing and a little odd when I told them....modern chiropractic work is more along the lines of what this man is doing, and releasing fascia very safely and effectively. It's crazy to me anyone would pay for some old guy to crsck their back lol!!!
opposite day -- what's dangerous is life saving and what is considered good ,safe effective, etc bla bla bla ........is dangerous. Love, nurse and patient who has known this for decades but the Lord took me out of that system completely not by total choice, but by my death from their neglect and now disability...working to become able again. CST is only dangerous ....to the system of hell care
