Craniosacral therapy is a gentle manual therapy designed to release tensions and harmonize the craniosacral system. It is the physiological axis from the skull to the sacrum and including the spine. It consists of all the structures (bones, meninges, fascias ) of this axis and the cerebrospinal fluid (liquid protecting the brain and spinal cord found in the meninges). This system binds the head to the pelvis and vice versa, so a fall on the coccyx can lead to a dysfunction in the cervical vertebrae. The therapist begins by listening to the subtle rhythms of the system to detect a physical and/or emotional imprint of trauma, pathologies, stress, etc. Then by light pressure (a 25 percent pressure) on the structures, he allows the body to free itself from tensions. The different membranes, fluids, bones, connective and nervous systems regain optimal mobility. This restores balance within the body.
This therapy is indicated for migraines, sinusitis, jaw pain, visual disorders, hearing disorders, neck, back, lumbar pain… It is also beneficial for anxiety or stress, insomnia, hyperactivity disorders… or for the infant after delivery. It has no restrictions or age limits.
