Craniosacral Therapy
When is craniosacral therapy used?
Craniosacral therapy is used for various complaints and conditions, including:
- Headaches and migraines
- Back pain and neck pain
- Stress and tension states
- Sleep disorders
- Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ)
- Chronic pain
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Advantages of Craniosacral Therapy
- Gentle treatment: Uses light touches and is therefore particularly gentle.

- Stress reduction: Promotes deep relaxation and can alleviate stress symptoms.
- Holistic effect: Supports the body's self-healing powers and has a positive effect on overall well-being.
- Non-invasive: No surgery or injections required.
- Individually tailored: The treatment is tailored to the specific needs of the patient.
Conducting Craniosacral Therapy
- Examination: The therapist conducts a thorough medical history and gently palpates the craniosacral system to identify tensions and movement restrictions.
- Treatment: The therapist uses light touches to release tensions and restore the natural mobility of the craniosacral structures.
- Duration of treatment: A session usually lasts between 45 and 60 minutes.
- Frequency of sessions: Depending on the severity and type of complaints, several sessions may be necessary.
What you need to consider before Craniosacral Therapy
- Health issues: Inform the therapist about existing health issues, especially in cases of severe degenerative diseases or recent injuries.
- Medications: Inform the therapist if you are taking medications that could affect the treatment.
- Preparation: No special preparations are required, but comfortable clothing can be helpful.
Debriefing and Consultation
After the craniosacral therapy, the therapist will discuss the results and your reaction to the treatment. The therapist will assess whether further sessions are necessary and how the treatment can be integrated into the overall treatment plan. Additional recommendations may include exercises, other therapeutic measures, or adjustments in daily life to support healing and pain relief.
