Craniosacral Therapie
Craniosacral therapy is a federally recognized method of complementary therapy.
It is a holistic body therapy that offers its clients* gentle impulses to strengthen their inherent health. It supports the self-healing powers and the finding of a new, healthy balance in the whole organism.
The term 'craniosacral' describes the area of the human body between the cranium (Latin for 'skull') and the sacrum (Latin for 'sacral bone'). This area is central to our health - after all, the two poles cranium and sacrum form a unit with the skin of the brain and spinal cord, in which the cerebrospinal fluid pulsates rhythmically. This fluid, also called cerebrospinal fluid, nourishes, moves, animates and protects our brain and nervous system.
In craniosacral therapy we work with different rhythms. Craniosacral therapists perceive with their hands the subtle movement of the cerebrospinal fluid and other involuntary rhythmic impulses in their different qualities and support their regulation.
In dialogue with the organism
Accidents, falls, injuries, illnesses or mental shocks can affect the various rhythms in the body. Through attentive listening and delicate touch, the craniosacral therapist recognizes blockages and tension patterns in the connective tissue and its fasciae, in organs, in muscles, bones and other structures. In interaction with the client's organism, these are released from within. Gentle impulses are offered which stimulate and support self-regulation processes. Mindfulness is used to work together with the intelligence of the body. A kind of dialogue is created between the hands of the therapist and the organism of the client.
The entire body and its bioenergetic field are addressed. Craniosacral treatments work down to the level of the body cells. They have a balancing effect in the nervous system, strengthen the inherent health, the expression of regulating cycles and the finding of a new, healthy balance in the whole organism of the client.
Strengthening of self-competence
Craniosacral therapy can be applied to people of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. It can be combined with all forms of therapy and works as a complement to conventional medicine.
Craniosacral therapy strengthens the self-awareness and recovery skills of its clients. It offers support in cases of discomfort and illness, in stressful life situations, promotes rehabilitation after illness or accident and the regulation of the musculoskeletal system, the organs, the lymphatic system, the hormonal system and the autonomic and central nervous system.
Craniosacral therapy helps with whiplash, fall and crush trauma, sleep problems, states of exhaustion, depression and stress-related complaints, as well as disorders of the immune system.
Deeper sleep, inner balance, increased ability to concentrate, more vitality and better mobility can be the positive effects.
