Facial symmetry support with craniosacral therapy at Healthflow ND
It’s Not Just in Your Head — But It Might Be About Your Head
You’ve stretched, foam rolled, seen a chiro, maybe even tried massage — and still, something’s “off.”
Your jaw clicks. Your face feels uneven in photos. You get tension headaches, or you’re always adjusting your posture.
It’s not dramatic. But it’s persistent. And it could be rooted in your craniosacral system — the subtle, structural network connecting your skull, spine, and nervous system.
This is where Craniosacral Therapy (CST) can help.
🧠 What Is Craniosacral Therapy?
CST is a gentle, hands-on technique that focuses on releasing restrictions in the cranial bones, spinal column, and surrounding tissues. Practitioners use soft touch — often no more than the weight of a nickel — to restore flow, alignment, and balance across the system.
While originally developed to support brain and spinal cord health, CST has gained popularity for its effects on:
Facial symmetry
Postural alignment
Chronic headaches and TMJ tension
Stress-related fatigue
Nervous system resilience
🔍 What Can Craniosacral Therapy Help With?
People seek CST for a wide range of reasons — some structural, some energetic. Common examples include:
Facial asymmetry or tension
(especially from clenching, grinding, or chronic stress)TMJ dysfunction or jaw alignment issues
Neck, spine, or pelvic misalignment
Head shape changes from injury or posture
Chronic tension or migraines
Post-concussion support
A sense of compression or disconnection in the body
And while CST can’t replace surgery or orthodontics, it’s often used as a complementary therapy to support healing, prevent compensation patterns, and enhance physical ease.
👶 Can CST Change Head Shape?
In pediatric care, CST is sometimes used to address conditions like plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) or mild facial asymmetry from birth canal pressure or early posture patterns.
By gently encouraging cranial mobility and relieving soft tissue tension, CST may help support more symmetrical development in infants — and comfort in adults who’ve carried old patterns for years.
