Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation

Craniosacral therapy (cranium – skull, sacrum – sacral bone) is a gentle method that engages the craniosacral system — a unified, holistic system that reflects the integration of physical structures and physiological rhythms in the body.

Using gentle touch (a force of around 5 grams), the therapist releases restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system (CNS), as well as many other body systems — e.g. the digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory and circulatory systems. It also significantly helps with the physical components related to somatic conditions in post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety.

The therapy uses the human body's ability to restore its own regenerative and self-regulating mechanisms, in a state of deep physical and emotional relaxation. Thanks to activating the body's natural, innate healing processes, it is also used to generally support immunity.

When craniosacral therapy is recommended

The therapy is recommended especially for:

• migraines and headaches
• tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
• tetany
• insomnia
• conditions after dental procedures
• supporting conception, during pregnancy and before childbirth
• digestive problems
• in children with learning disorders, ADD and ADHD
• generally for an inability to cope with stress

Its indications have no age limit, since, not least, it helps improve the body's resistance and acts preventively against a whole range of illnesses.

Healthy people also often undergo this therapy, since after completing it they feel full of energy, happier and more balanced.

Visceral manipulation

Visceral manipulation is a type of therapeutic technique whose goal is to support normal tone and movement between the individual internal organs and their connections. Other factors that could restrict the movement of internal organs can also be positively influenced, i.e. tension in fasciae, nerves, blood vessels, as well as emotional tension.

The therapy is sought out for vague pain in various areas of the abdominal cavity, for problems with bowel movements, for reflux, and for food allergies.
