What is Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a non-invasive method, effective in influencing the body and human emotions. It primarily focuses on the nervous system, crucial for all aspects of our lives.
​
Diseases, trauma, stress, lack of sleep, environmental pollution, or an unhealthy diet disturb the natural balance of our organism. Craniosacral therapy initiates healing processes, supporting the self-regulation of our body.
The therapist uses the Craniosacral rhythm and tension patterns in the body to listen to the patients needs.
​
Sessions can be strictly aimed at alleviating physical tension, or it can also address emotional tension that is held within the tissues and fascia.
​
A key element of Craniosacral therapy is that the patients lead the session so that only what the
patient is ready for will be addressed. In a typical session the client is laying down, fully clothed and their comfort is prioritized over all else.
To begin the therapist assesses the general tension and craniosacral rhythm in the body and goes from there. The therapist is trained to feel subtle shifts in the body which are related to significant areas of tension or trauma and also releases in that tension and trauma.
