Craniosacral Therapy
​
Method
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, holistic manual body therapy. The focus of Craniosacral Therapy is the rhythmically pulsating craniosacral system, which consists of the skull (lat. cranium), the sacrum (lat. sacrum) and the meninges and spinal cord membranes. The craniosacral rhythm permeates the entire body and supports various body structures in their function and health. This rhythm and possible changes are perceptible to trained hands. The craniosacral rhythm can be supported by gentle impulses, whereby the body's own self-regulation is stimulated and complaints can be alleviated.
Approach
The treatment takes place fully clothed and usually lying on your back. If this is not possible, treatments can also be carried out while sitting. Using gentle manual techniques, the therapist supports the craniosacral rhythm. The treatment can take place in silence or can be verbally accompanied.
​
Effect
