Holistic Ways of Healing – Cranio-sacral Therapy
Gently touching
Holistic ways of healing include Craniosacral Therapy. By gently touching the patient a therapist can change or release dysfunctions and blockages – also, when of psychic nature. The name is derived from the terms cranium = skull and sacrum = sacral bone. Within this area there flows the cerebrospinal fluid, which is renewing itself and is draining away in a certain rhythm and which is also protecting the brain and the spinal cord. The therapist receives indications for existing dysfunctions through this craniosacral pulse – that is to be sensed in the body as are heart- and breathing-rhythm.
The treatment strengthens the endogenous self-healing powers, so that local impairs as well as traumatic discomfort can be eliminated.
