Craniosacral Therapy

 

 

Method

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, manual method of bodywork for people of all ages. Through gentle touch, processes on a physical, emotional, and mental level are supported in a resource-oriented manner.

 

At the heart of Craniosacral Therapy is the rhythmically pulsating craniosacral system, which consists of the skull (cranium), spine, sacrum, and the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Within these structures circulates cerebrospinal fluid, which protects and nourishes the central nervous system and supports its function.

 

This fluid generates subtle, rhythmic movements, the so-called craniosacral rhythm. This rhythm is transmitted throughout the entire body, thereby stimulating self-regulation, increasing inner balance, and alleviating discomfort.

 

This rhythm and any changes within it are perceptible to trained hands. The craniosacral rhythm can be supported through gentle, mindful touch.

 

 

Approaches

Depending on your needs, I work with either the mechanical-functional or the biodynamic approach.

 

In mechanical-functional Craniosacral Therapy, gentle techniques are used to influence physical structures and the craniosacral rhythm.

 

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy involves approaching the unfolding process with neutral presence.

Treatment Procedure

A treatment session lasts approximately 60-75 minutes. In a preliminary consultation, your concerns and needs will be clarified. You will then lie fully clothed on your back on the treatment table. Treatments while seated are also possible. Using gentle touch, various areas of the body are treated, tailored to your specific needs.

 

If desired, the experience can be discussed to raise awareness of inner processes, anchor resources, and strengthen self-awareness. A concluding discussion supports the integration of the experience.

 

The frequency of treatments depends on your individual needs.
