The focus is on the interaction between the skull (Latin: cranium), the spine and the sacrum (Latin: sacrum) via the cerebrospinal fluid (Latin: liquor). The gentle pulsation of these fluids transmits subtle vibrations to all bony structures, membranes and connective tissue.
Deep-seated tension in muscle and tissue layers, as well as internal blockages, are detected and gradually released through attentive, focused concentration during the course of treatment. Causes include, for example, stress, incorrect postural strain, accidents or other traumatic physical and emotional experiences. These block the body’s self-regulatory mechanisms and can lead to serious illnesses in the long term.
Craniosacral therapy can be used as a preventative measure or as a complement to medical treatment for chronic conditions.
Through craniosacral therapy, the client can enter a deep inner state that approaches meditative states. In this way, they learn to reconnect with themselves and to pay attention to their body’s signals in good time.

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, holistic form of bodywork. It activates healing processes on both a physical and emotional level. The treatment mainly focuses on the skull (Latin: cranium), the spine and the sacrum (Latin: sacrum). The cerebrospinal fluid (Latin: liquor) is found between these structures. Together, these structures function like a hydraulic system.
