Not feeling like yourself lately? Whatever your particular ache, pain, or chronic malady, know that many Canadians are turning towards an alluring form of alternative therapy. It's called cranial sacral therapy, and it works by targeting a vital system in your body that you may not even know exists. Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST), a complementary medical practice, is a gentle method of detection and correction that works by encouraging your body's own natural healing mechanisms. During therapy, a practitioner will apply light touches to deliberately targeted points on a patient's body — particularly the skull, face and spine. "What you're doing is balancing the body's systems," notes Maria Radatus, a Registered Massage Therapist and practitioner of CST in Windsor. "The body always wants to heal itself. Once a barrier is unblocked, and the body is more aligned, then the situation helps themselves become normal."

"I have been receiving Cranio Sacral Therapy for 3 years now. I used to experience debilitating, chronic low back pain everyday and with regular treatment every 3 weeks, Maria has located the source of my pain and focused her energy in so many positive ways. My quality of life has improved drastically and Maria's healing touch has provided relief that no doctor or physiotherapist ever could. In addition, CST has reduced high levels of tension in all areas of my body and provided deep levels of pure relaxation. Thank you Magical Maria for all you have done" - Amy VanCowenberg, Paramedic. more... See more text
