Craniosacral Therapy is an alternitve medine treatment method, which developed out of osteopathy. It is a manual treatment focusing on the head and sacral area.
Founder
This type of therapy was first performed by the American osteopath Dr. William Garner Sutherland, a stundent of Andrew Taylor Still, who in turn founded the practice of osteopathy (The Cranial Bowl, 1939).
Concept
Cranialsacral therapy works under the presumption that its rhythmic pulses positively affect the body tissue and bones. Mobility of the individual bones of the spinal cap is also assumed.
Through small movements of the head and back, the therapist collects information about the possible blocks, thus resolving functional limitations of the body and skull and indirectly influencing the membrane inside the skull. In so doing, the treatment is meant to improve energy flow, support the body´s self-healing processes, and aid in the resolution of trauma.
