An apparatus (10) for a craniosacral therapy technique is provided. The apparatus (10) is configured as a headrest for a human being to rest their head on. The apparatus (10) is comprised of a resilient monocoque structure having a sidewall made from a thermo-plastic elastomer. The apparatus (10) is comprised of a base portion (105), two semi-spherical shaped protuberances (120, 130) extending upward from the base portion (105), and a channel (125) formed between the two protuberances (120, 130). The adjacent protuberances (120, 130) put stabilizing bi-lateral pressure on the occipital region of the head to induce what is known as a “still point”. After a rest period of up to twenty minutes, the pressure on the occipital region is removed. The release of the apparatus (10) allows production of cerebrospinal fluids which then gently flushes these areas of tissue restrictions or adhesions thereby improving circulation and facilitating greater balance and function of the central nervous system.
