Craniosacral therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle manual method that can help the body deeply relax and release tension accumulated in soft tissues, as well as promote fluid circulation in the body.
The theoretical basis of craniosacral therapy is the functioning of the so-called craniosacral system (cranium = skull – sacrum = sacrum). This system refers to the central nervous system, i.e. the connective tissue sheaths surrounding the brain and spinal cord, and the cerebrospinal fluid flowing within them.
Tämän järjestelmän toiminta luo olosuhteet keskushermoston toiminnalle, ja kraniosakraalimenetelmän taustalla onkin ajatus siitä, että kun nuo olosuhteet ovat optimaaliset, silloin myös keho toimii kokonaisuutena terveellä tavalla.
The method is reported to be beneficial for a wide variety of physical and cognitive problems, such as head, neck, and back problems, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, migraines, motor problems, chronic tension, anxiety, insomnia, and various attention disorders.
Craniosacral therapy is performed over clothing, so it is a good idea to wear comfortable, flexible clothing that does not have any tight spots or buttons, rivets or zippers, at least not on the back. During the treatment, you can lie on your back on a padded treatment table and relax. The treatment is performed very gently, without sudden movements or any kind of force. During the treatment, the body is examined from head to toe, focusing on different areas depending on the situation.
In craniosacral therapy, the body's integration process is often slow and occurs at its own pace. Therefore, repeated treatments may be necessary – for example, weekly or monthly – depending on the individual's needs.
We usually recommend at least a few treatments. Treatments can be arranged together with the therapist, either as a package or combined with other treatments, such as massage.
