Craniosacral therapy is a particularly gentle form of bodywork. It uses mindful touch to help the nervous system to find balance, calm down and recharge its batteries. Many people experience deep relaxation during the treatment - sometimes even the feeling of finally being able to breathe deeply again.
Gentle touch with a profound effect
Biodynamic craniosacral therapy is a gentle, holistic method that can bring your body into deep balance. It works with the craniosacral rhythm - a subtle, internal movement that flows from your brain and spinal cord via the skull to the sacrum and influences your entire organism as well as the autonomic nervous system. Changes in this system are perceived by trained hands and provide indications for therapeutic work. In this way, blockages and patterns of tension can be released from within in interaction with the body. Gentle impulses and an accompanying dialogue deepen this process. Craniosacral therapy combines scientific knowledge with subtle perception - for a very special form of healing support.
Application of craniosacral therapy
Craniosacral therapy is used in various areas and can have a supportive effect on both physical and emotional complaints. For example:
- Restlessness and nervousness
- Sleep disorders and states of exhaustion
- (Chronic) pain and tension
- After accidents and operations
- Scar work
- Headaches and migraines
- Tinnitus and dizziness
- Digestive problems
- Emotional strain and stress
- For pregnancy complaints
- For the treatment of parents and newborns with difficult labour or interventions (e.g. caesarean section, suction cup, etc.)
Treatment procedure
A session usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes and takes place in a lying or sitting position - clothing remains on. All sessions are designed to promote health and strengthen recovery skills through self-awareness and self-regulation.
