Craniosacral therapy is a gentle manual method that releases blockages by palpating and influencing the cranial system (skull and sacrum), relaxes the nervous system and activates the body's self-healing powers.

- resolution of Trauma
The Concept
Craniosacral Therapy is based on the idea that rhythmic impulses of cerebrospinal fluid (liquor) influence tissues and bones, positively affecting the entire body. The mobility of individual skull bones is also considered a central aspect.
Through gentle touches, the therapist identifies possible blockages in the head and back. Subtle movements help release restrictions and tensions, affecting the body, skull bones, and internal membranes (e.g., dura mater).
This gentle method is suitable for people of all ages who wish to strengthen their health holistically and enhance their overall well-being.
Origin and Founder
The therapy was developed by Dr. William Garner Sutherland, a student of Andrew Taylor Still (the founder of osteopathy). His research on the mobility of skull bones and their impact on the entire body forms the foundation of this approach.
