The treatment involves gentle non-invasive techniques that release tensions and restrictions with the aim of improving the functioning of the central nervous system and the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. The name Craniosacral originates from the words "Cranio" (cranium) and "Sacral" (sacrum). The cranium and the sacrum are connected through the outermost membrane, dura mater, which surrounds the central nervous system, the brain and the spinal cord and protects the cerebrospinal fluid. Together the cranium, the sacrum and dura mater form the Craniosacral system. Craniosacral therapy is based on a rhythm that occurs due to the production and resorption of the cerebrospinal fluid. This pulsation creates constant small movements in the sacrum and the cranium and places great demand on the connective tissue in and around the Craniosacral system. The Craniosacral system can affect and be affected by other systems in the body, just as restrictions and tensions in the Craniosacral system may lead to various symptoms. The aim of the treatment is therefore to optimize the elasticity of the connective tissue and optimize the Craniosacral rhythm without stressing the body.
