Bone Setting Massage Therapy
Deemed to be one of the oldest forms of manual curative therapy in the West, bone setting massage is an extremely effective type of neuro-muscular massage that’s been performed by bonesetters in French and other European countryside. These methods are quite useful in resolving several issues associated with the locomotive system specifically, the nerves, joints, and muscles. Even within the initial treatments, the outcomes can be astonishing.
The aim of bone setting massage is to bring back the normal functionality of the mobility of the joints and the various muscle tissues of the body. The practitioner works on the tension using relatively heavy pressure at several parts of the body: capsules muscles, tendons, or ligaments.
Bone setting massage is different from a ‘cracking’ technique and more of a deep work on internal organs and body tissues. The functional and structural interconnections of the body are regulated once the mobility of the joint and the tissues’ functionality is restored and the sick state of the person is resolved.

As the pelvis or sacrum is attached to the skull through the vertebrae and spinal cord, subtle motions of the dural fluid in the spinal cord and the sacrum and can be felt as the cranium is held. Just applying this process can exert a powerful force that can balance the entire body. After a CST session, changes may be experienced in the spirit, mind, and body.
