Craniosacral therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a significant branch of osteopathy, distinguished by its gentle manual techniques. The goal of this therapy is to support the central nervous system and restore balance within the body.
Through targeted touches, the mobility of the skull bones, spine, and pelvis is improved, leading to deep relaxation and healing. This therapy is particularly effective for stress, headaches, and chronic pain.
The name "craniosacral" comes from the terms cranium (skull) and sacrum (tailbone). The skull and sacrum, together with the brain and spinal cord membranes, form a unit in which cerebrospinal fluid pulses rhythmically. This rhythm affects the entire body and influences its development and functionality. Changes in this system provide essential cues for therapeutic work on the affected anatomical and energetic structures.
This treatment can be applied to people of all ages, even those in very painful or fragile conditions, such as supportive therapy after surgeries or severe illnesses.
