A special method of getting rid of diseases, which is relatively new, but has already gained a large number of fans, is craniosacral therapy. The healing method is based on the belief that in the human body all parts are closely connected to each other. The technique is one of the most non-standard methods of treating various diseases, so it has a huge number of both supporters and opponents.

History of origin

The possibility of the emergence of such a teaching as craniosacral therapy appeared due to the fact that during the same period the following treatment methods were developed: kinesiology (also called biomechanics), osteopathy, manual therapy. The understanding of the physiological characteristics of the human body has also significantly deepened. The first researcher in this field and, in fact, the creator of the doctrine is the American osteopath William Sutherland. While practicing osteopathy, Sutherland came to the conclusion that the bones of the skull are mobile, since they can be separated without fracture. As a result, the scientist tried to transfer to the sutures of the skull the biomechanical principles guided by which a specialist in craniosacral therapy works.

Also in his research, the scientist observed the rhythms of the human body. Having established that the body obeys certain rhythms, the doctor called them craniosacral. That’s why the doctor called his technique craniosacral osteopathy. Since scientists had established a strong physiological connection between the sacral spine and the skull, he decided to use this to eliminate certain diseases. And the treatment method based on this was called craniosacral therapy.

What is craniosacral rhythm

Sutherland found that the human skull increases and decreases in volume in a certain rhythm. This phenomenon was designated by him as the mechanism of primary respiration. Depending on the individual characteristics of a person, primary breathing cycles can take place from 6 to 10 within a minute.

The doctor associated the phenomenon with the fact that the human brain contracts and relaxes in a certain rhythm, which causes an increase and decrease in brain volume

In this case, the vibration of the skull bones is transmitted to the rest of the bones of the human skeleton through the cerebrospinal fluid.

Subsequently, the movements of the bones in a certain rhythm were associated with the fact that the pressure in the cerebrospinal fluid changes cyclically. Moreover, in each case, the rhythm of pressure change has its own amplitude and frequency, and its various phases are observed. This was first stated by John Upledger, who subsequently published several books on the topic of craniosacral therapy.

It is believed that the craniosacral rhythm, which occurs in the nervous system, affects all connective tissues in the human body. In simple terms, the entire human body functions according to certain rhythms and cyclically.

According to the theory of craniosacral therapy, which was proposed by Upledger, when the craniosacral rhythm is disturbed, all organs and systems in the human body begin to work incorrectly. Almost any disease can be treated with craniosacral therapy, since this technique is aimed at restoring the normal cyclical rhythm of the body. As a result of the use of such therapy, after the restoration of normal craniosacral rhythm, all organs begin to function normally, which ensures their cure, as well as the prevention of the development of diseases.

Craniosacral therapy involves restoring the rhythm and cyclicity of the respiratory movements of the human cranial bones. Since they are connected with all human organs and systems, after sessions of craniosacral therapy, well-being improves, vigor and energy are acquired.

John Upledger outlined his theories in the books Craniosacral Therapy 1 and Craniosacral Therapy 2. These works set out all the basic principles of the treatment method, which are still relevant today. Based on these books, a training program is mainly drawn up for people who want to become specialists in this area of ​​alternative medicine.

How does the session work?

Craniosacral therapy requires a certain number of sessions. As a rule, treatment with this method is quite long. As a result, not only the functioning of the entire body is normalized, but the patient’s emotional state also improves. The therapy is similar to a massage. The session lasts about an hour. In this case, the patient is positioned on the couch. As a result of such treatment, the therapist determines the natural craniosacral rhythm of the human body and determines whether there are any disturbances.

Massage involves influencing the bones of the human skull and the sacral spine

At the same time, the specialist’s movements are very light, the patient practically does not notice them. The massage is carried out with light, soft strokes.

The patient does not experience any discomfort or pain during the session. As a rule, a person notes that during the session he experienced pleasant sensations, and after it he felt a surge of strength. The session releases a person’s natural energy and improves well-being and mood.

What diseases can craniosacral therapy help treat?

Almost any disease can be treated with this technique. First of all, such a massage is performed to restore the healthy functioning of the nervous system and musculoskeletal system.

The majority of patients of osteopaths specializing in craniosacral therapy are people with the following diseases:

• osteochondrosis;
• scoliosis and other spinal curvatures;
• cerebroasthenic disorder;
• pathologies of the jaw joints;
• neuritis of the trigeminal and facial nerves;
• headaches of any origin;
• encephalopathy and epilepsy, the development of which is caused by serious injuries;
• vegetative-vascular dystonia;
• hypertension;
• stagnation of fluid in the body;
• diseases of the ENT organs.

What knowledge and skills should a specialist in this industry have?

An osteopath must have fairly extensive knowledge and numerous skills, since successful treatment using craniosacral therapy techniques requires an understanding of the functioning of the human body in various areas. When determining the patient’s condition, the osteopathic doctor relies primarily on his own examination of the patient by palpation. But to obtain additional information or confirm the results of such a diagnosis, it may be necessary to study x-rays or a report from the attending physician.

Many people think that osteopathy (or craniosacral therapy) is something akin to mysticism. In fact, the basis on which osteopathy rests is anatomy. Only with excellent knowledge of anatomy can a specialist successfully conduct treatment sessions. Therefore, a specialist must first of all be trained in traditional medicine and anatomy.

A high level of knowledge of human anatomy is as important for an osteopath as it is for a surgeon.

During diagnosis and treatment, the specialist must understand his sensations during palpation. An osteopath should be able to identify pathologies based on the slightest changes simply by touch.

Another important point is practical skills. Only with experience can an osteopath learn to accurately determine disorders simply by touch. Directly for treatment, a very important component is the skill of performing the necessary manipulations. An osteopath must be able to provide the expected result from treatment through minor intervention. To do this, specialists who have received a medical education also require quite a long training period with a highly specialized specialist.

The therapist maintains a special relationship with the patient. For an osteopath, any disease is a problem of the whole organism as an integral system. While traditional medicine separates diseases.

A specialist in craniosacral therapy must be able to win over the patient and inspire trust. If the patient resists and does not open up to the therapist, then treatment simply will not be possible. As a rule, building a kind of dialogue during the treatment process occurs gradually. At first, the body rarely opens up and trusts a specialist, but over time it is possible to achieve the necessary degree of trust.

Treatment results

After the session, the person immediately feels a positive effect. Patients always evaluate their condition after a massage positively; they experience a feeling of lightness, relaxation and energy at the same time, headaches, feelings of stiffness and heaviness in the spine go away. After just one procedure, this improvement in well-being lasts for several days. With repeated sessions, you can gradually not only begin to feel good all the time, but also get rid of most diseases.

The result of treatment using craniosacral therapy is the launch of self-healing processes in the body

Human nature is such that he can independently cope with almost any disease, regulating vital functions and restoring health on his own. The ability to self-heal decreases and eventually disappears altogether if blocks and clamps appear in the body that disrupt the natural processes in the body.

The goal of craniosacral therapy is to get rid of such blocks so that the body begins to heal itself. This can take quite a lot of time, so in each case the osteopath individually determines approximately how many sessions will be required, as well as how often it is necessary to see a specialist. As a rule, at the beginning of treatment it is recommended to conduct sessions relatively frequently. Over time, when noticeable improvements begin to appear, sessions are performed less frequently.

Basic principles of osteopathy and craniosacral therapy

Specialists in these fields adhere to several fundamental principles on which treatment is based. These principles include:

1. The principle of body integrity. The entire human body is regarded exclusively as a single system consisting of various structures, the relationship between which is very close and is determined anatomically and physiologically.
2. The causes of the pathology in most cases are remote from its localization. Very often, disturbances in the functioning of one part of the body cause, at first glance, unrelated symptoms. Thus, when the pericardial ligaments are strained, muscle mobility in the thoracic and cervical spine, as well as the chest, is impaired. As a result, painful sensations appear in these areas. If you do not find the cause of such symptoms and fight only with them, they will periodically return.
3. Most diseases are caused by structural abnormalities. The state of health of internal organs and even the psyche depends on whether these structures are located in a normal position relative to each other, as well as on the normal mobility of the human body. Thus, it is possible to get rid of many psychological disorders after an osteopath works with the bones of the skull, because as a result of this, blood circulation in the brain improves.
4. Physical activity is necessary for a person. When the normal mobility of the body is disrupted, internal disorders also occur, so it is necessary to maintain the mobility of the body.

Contraindications and treatment for children

Craniosacral therapy has virtually no contraindications. Therefore, it is often chosen even without a doctor’s prescription.

It is best to undergo an examination to understand whether this method of treatment can be used in each specific case

Contraindications include:

• oncological diseases;
• acute aneurysm;
• acute thrombosis.

It is also worthwhile to first undergo a course of treatment using traditional medicine methods for those patients who have infectious diseases. That is, this contraindication is temporary - after recovery you can visit an osteopath.

Many parents are unsure whether craniosacral therapy is legal for their children. Most experts agree that such treatment is just as beneficial for children as it is for adults. Preventive use of the technique allows you to accelerate the development and prevent many diseases of the child.

It is recommended to visit an osteopath for those children who are lagging behind in physical development. For example, if a child does not hold his head well, crawls, sits, or does not begin to walk independently. As a result of the sessions, the child’s immunity improves, the muscular system is strengthened, and digestion is normalized. Children after such treatment become calmer.

Craniosacral therapy is a relatively new treatment method for Russian society. But in European countries and the USA this technique has long been quite popular and can even be included in insurance. A large number of fans of the method of healing the body is due to the fact that the majority of patients who have tried visiting an osteopath note an improvement in their health. Numerous positive reviews strengthen the popularity of the technique.

In 2000 O.V. Polunova was the first to introduce into practice the method of orthodontic treatment with the support of a cranial therapist. This innovation was initially perceived with skepticism by most specialists, until the first results appeared. Meanwhile, it is this method of orthodontic treatment that allows not only to correct the bite, but also to completely eliminate the causes of the resulting pathology.

The bones of a child’s skull have spaces between them, “fontanelles.” Later they grow together. However, even in adults, the bones of the skull have micromovements. This is the norm for a healthy person. The number of these micromovements ranges from 6 to 14 per minute. This is similar to breathing movements, but on a microscopic level. Any trauma, such as birth, as well as bruises and concussions, can block these micromovements or change their amplitude. In this case, pathology occurs, which also manifests itself in malocclusion. The cranial therapist restores these micromovements with the help of special exercises similar to a head massage. Thus, the correction of the bite occurs in two directions: moving the teeth into the correct position and, which is very important, eliminating the causes that led to this pathology.

As a result, we noted a decrease in the duration of orthodontic treatment relative to the planned ones, as well as the disappearance of various problems in patients that appeared in parallel with orthodontic ones (headache, dizziness, fatigue, difficulty breathing through the nose, impaired facial symmetry).

The appointment is conducted by a candidate of medical sciences, author of more than 20 scientific papers, cranial therapist Vera Mikhailovna Polunova

The cost of a cranial therapy session is 2200 rubles.

In our clinic, osteopathic doctor Andrey Vladimirovich Limonov conducts consultations

The cost of an osteopathy session is 3500 rubles.

Osteopathy is a branch of medicine where diagnosis and treatment are carried out only by the sensitive hands of a specialist.
Osteopathy is the art of managing human health. This is science and philosophy.

An osteopathic doctor uses his hands to identify problem areas in the patient’s body and bring them back to normal. This happens without the use of drugs, and the osteopathic method is so gentle and effective that it can be recommended for both children and the elderly. The meaning of osteopathic treatment is to detect disturbances in the functioning of the body and eliminate them using specific influences, resulting in self-correction and mobilization of the body’s internal resources for self-healing.

In what cases is osteopathic treatment indicated?

• pain in the back, cervical spine, degenerative processes in the spine and joints (osteochondrosis)
• headaches, sleep disturbances
• temporomandibular joint problems
• in case of complaints from internal organs
• dizziness
• enuresis
• delay in mental and motor development
• consequences of birth and various injuries
• memory or attention problems
• learning difficulties
• convulsive states
• discirculatory encephalopathies
• poor posture
• increased excitability
• intracranial hypertension syndrome
• vegetative-vascular dystonia
• circulatory disorders in the vessels of the extremities
• cerebrovascular accident

For children:

• birth injuries
• minimal brain dysfunction (impaired behavior, attention, sleep, fatigue)
• speech therapy problems
• disorders in the musculoskeletal system
• frequently ill children (decreased immunity)
• malocclusion

Craniosacral therapy is a relatively new technique, which, however, is becoming more and more popular every year. This practice is based on the assertion that all parts of the human skeleton are not only mobile (including and but also closely interconnected. So when is it advisable to use craniosacral therapy? What is such a technique? What problems can be dealt with by trusting a specialist? These questions interest many .

History of the creation and development of craniosacral therapy

The development of this technique began around the beginning of the twentieth century by the famous American osteopath William G. Sutherland. The outstanding scientist was once a student of Andrew Taylor Still, who developed the basic principles of modern osteopathy.

V. Sutherland noted in his works that the cranial bones can be divided without fracture, which means that they are mobile. It was he who first transferred the biomechanical principles of classical osteopathy to the sutures of the skull. Over many years of work and constant research, the doctor found that the body works according to a certain rhythm, which he called craniosacral.

Sutherland managed to create the fundamental basis of a therapy called cranial osteopathy. Subsequently, the scientist established the presence of a strong physiological connection between the skull and the sacral spine - this is how craniosacral therapy (cranium - skull, sacrum - sacrum) appeared.

What is called craniosacral rhythm?

The mechanism of primary respiration was discovered by Sutherland. An osteopathic doctor discovered that the human body works in a certain rhythm - the volume of the skull either increases or decreases, and there can be from 6 to 10 such cycles per minute. The scientist suggested that such movements are associated with rhythmic contractions and relaxations of the brain, vibration from which are transmitted to the rest of the bones through the cerebrospinal fluid.

A new theory about rhythm appeared a little later. Its author is American osteopathic physician John Upledger. He made the assumption that the rhythms of movement of the skull bones are associated with cyclical changes in pressure. The rhythm has its own frequency, clear symmetry and amplitude, and different phases.

In addition, in his works, Dr. Upledger points out that there is a connection between the crniosacral rhythm that occurs in the nervous system and all connective tissues in the human body. According to this theory, every organ, tissue and cell in the body works cyclically, in the same rhythm. Some practitioners compare rhythm to a breathing flower, which opens and closes its petals, following an innate, natural cycle.

Naturally, if the craniosacral rhythm is disturbed, then this affects all systems and organs. Today, craniosacral therapy is used as a prevention and treatment for almost any disease. It is believed that if you normalize the rhythm and cyclicity of the “breathing” movements of the cranial bones, this will not only improve your health, but will also affect your well-being.

How does a massage session work?

Craniosacral manual therapy is a long-term treatment process that helps improve not only the functioning of the body, but also the emotional state. Typically, a massage session lasts about an hour. At this time, the patient lies on a comfortable couch, allowing the doctor to study the innate craniosacral rhythm and detect abnormalities.

During this time it affects the bones and sacrum. The specialist’s movements are almost unnoticeable and resemble light, soft stroking.

Such a procedure is not accompanied by discomfort and, especially, pain. Patients, on the contrary, claim that soft massage movements perfectly relax and tone at the same time, releasing energy, improving well-being and mood.

For what diseases is craniosacral therapy used?

In fact, this technique is used to treat almost all diseases. Naturally, first of all, massage sessions are designed to relieve diseases of the spine and nervous system. In particular, people with osteochondrosis, curvatures of the spinal column, cerebroasthenic disorders, and pathology of the joint between and the lower jaw often make an appointment with an osteopath.

Craniosacral therapy is used to eliminate disorders of the nervous system, in particular neuritis of the facial and trigeminal nerves. A massage session can eliminate headaches of any origin. Indications for such therapy are epilepsy, encephalopathy resulting from severe injuries, as well as increased intracranial pressure, vegetative-vascular dystonia, diseases of the ENT organs, and fluid stagnation in the body.

In the USA and European countries, a similar technique is widely used to treat chronic fatigue syndrome, postpartum depression, some mental disorders, and emotional exhaustion.

When will the first results appear?

The first results appear already in the first hours after the massage session - patients feel lightness and relaxation, note the disappearance of headaches, stiffness and heaviness in the spine. The effect of one procedure lasts about 3-4 days.

If we are talking about the treatment of some serious disease or the general improvement of the whole body, then, naturally, it takes at least several months to obtain a visible effect.

Contraindications for massage

Craniosacral therapy has virtually no contraindications and can be used both as prescribed by a doctor and for general disease prevention. However, before starting treatment, it is necessary to undergo a complete examination of the body.

Firstly, massage is not performed in the presence of any infectious diseases - in this case, you must first undergo an appropriate course of treatment. Secondly, contraindications are cancer, as well as acute thrombosis and aneurysm.

Can similar techniques be used to treat children?

Of course, craniosacral therapy will be no less useful than for adult patients. Using this technique, a wide variety of disorders and developmental disorders are corrected.

To begin with, it is worth noting that this technique is used when physical development slows down, for example, if the baby cannot hold his head up, sit or crawl on his own. It is also effective when the sucking reflex is weak. Regular massage sessions strengthen muscles, promote normal development of the immune system, and also normalize the functioning of the digestive tract. Statistical surveys have confirmed that children after such treatment become less restless, sleep well, and cry less often. The technique is effective if it is necessary to correct the shape of the skull, disturbed as a result of difficult childbirth.

Craniosacral therapy: reviews

Craniosacral system

The main treatment method at the center is cranial therapy. More precisely, the original method of cranial therapy developed by Dr. L.I. Levit - craniocerebral stimulation of the brain.

Let's understand the terms.

Craniosacral system is a complex of anatomical formations (the skull in Latin is “cranium”, the sacrum is “sacrum”), the spine, brain and spinal cord, meninges, intracerebral membranes and other formations located between them. This system operates in the mode of a very specific biorhythm - the cranio-sacral rhythm

The craniosacral system includes connective tissue, the musculoskeletal system, fascia, and cranial bones, which consist of 23 bones in children and 13 bones in adults. The bones of the skull are connected to each other by sutures, between which there are formations of collagen like joints, thanks to which the finest movements of the bones of the skull occur. This, on the one hand, makes it possible to maintain rigidity to protect the brain from damage, and on the other hand, it allows for the growth of the skull and at the same time the development of the central nervous system of the brain. Due to the mobility of the skeletal system of the skull, uniform circulation of cerebrospinal fluid occurs.

The movement of cerebrospinal fluid is transmitted to the musculoskeletal system of the skull. Fluctuations in the cerebrospinal fluid can be determined by a professional cranial therapist by palpation (from the Latin palpatio - palpation, a method of medical manual examination of a patient). Cranial rhythm disturbances can lead to serious consequences.

Cranio-sacral (cranial) biorhythm ensures the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, tissue fluid, regulates the entire rhythm of tissue respiration, provides tissues with substances and frees them from waste waste. If the cranial rhythm is disturbed, that is, it becomes more frequent, becomes less frequent, its amplitude changes, and the physiological state of the central nervous system changes.

U children disturbances of the cranial-sacral (cranial) biorhythm manifest themselves in different ways. Signs: extreme anxiety, when children hit their heads, cry for a long time, hit themselves on the head with their hands; hyper- or hypotonicity of the neuromuscular system; delay in mental, physical development and speech; squint and drooling; asymmetry of the face and skull; motion sickness, dizziness and nausea in transport; convulsions, tics, tremor (shaking). Sometimes – a clinic for cerebral palsy (CP); impaired attention and memory; behavioral and learning problems; hyper- and hypoactivity; enuresis.

U adults disturbance of the cranial-sacral (cranial) rhythm can manifest itself in the form of headaches, migraines; dizziness and nausea; sleep disorders; pain syndromes (in the back, limbs, other localization). Disturbance of the cranial rhythm can be expressed in the form of diseases of internal organs and systems, in the form of various painful conditions that arise after injury, vaccination and infectious diseases.

Cranial therapy

More precisely, Dr. Levit’s original method - craniocerebral stimulation - is a painless and very gentle method of treatment. Outwardly, it represents a barely perceptible touch on the head, spine, sacrum - very light and gentle manipulations with the child’s body.

Over the past decades, osteopathy and cranial therapy have become part of official medicine. Every year the position of this science is strengthening: more and more hospitals and medical centers in the USA, England, France, and Israel are using it in their practice. There is not a single advanced country in the world in which osteopaths and cranial therapists would not work, relying on the developments of doctors Still, Maqun, W. Sutheiland, M. Littlejohn and others. Dr. Lev Levit works within the American schoolJohn E. Upledger.

Nowadays, doctors often resort to manual therapy. One of its types is craniosacral therapy. It belongs to osteopathy. This is a Western technique that is aimed at restoring the functioning of the human body by adjusting its internal vibrations. This method is also used for the prevention and treatment of many diseases. In addition to the skull and spine, the craniosacral system includes the membranes of the spinal cord and brain, the sacrum, and cerebrospinal fluid.

Craniosacral therapy: essence and principles

Many people are wary of manual therapy, afraid that it will cause harm. To allay concerns, you need to know craniosacral therapy, what it is and how it works.

The essence of this therapy method consists of the following steps:

1. Assessment of the patient’s congenital cranial rhythm.
2. Establishing a fixed point at the base of the skull.
3. Gradual and gentle rocking of the sacral region.
4. Effect on the lower back and sacral region of the spinal column.
5. Working on the diaphragm.
6. Release of the hyoid bone.
7. Working with various bones of the skull.

The sequence of performing these points is selected by a specialist and depends on the therapeutic purpose.

Craniosacral therapy has basic principles:

1. Activation of the body’s own forces and its resources.
2. A person can be viewed holistically as a unity of the physical body with the psycho-emotional and spiritual spheres.
3. Improving the relationship between body structure and functioning.

This method can be used by psychotherapists for therapeutic purposes for patients with depressive disorders, stress, chronic fatigue, psychosomatics, and post-traumatic stress disorder. When working with this technique, the patient activates the resources that are necessary for self-regulation.

History of the development of craniosacral therapy

A method such as craniosacral therapy was discovered at the beginning of the 20th century by the American osteopath Sutherland. He outlined his first discoveries about craniosacral therapy in the scientific work “Cranial Vessel”. The scientist conducted many studies, during which he found that the human skull expands and also contracts rhythmically. Then he introduced the concept of “craniosacral rhythm.”

His research was continued by doctor D. Upledger. He created the theory of cyclic changes in the cerebrospinal fluid, emphasizing the importance of the connection of connective tissues with the craniosacral rhythm.

What is craniosacral rhythm

All the bones of the skull synchronously expand and contract together, and this rhythm coincides with the rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid. This phenomenon is called craniosacral rhythm. The movements of the skull bones together with the cerebrospinal fluid cause vibrations of the membranes. This leads to involuntary expansion and contraction of the human body, and interconnected movement of individual parts of the body occurs.

How does a therapy session take place and how long does it last?

During a session of this type of manual therapy, the hands are applied to individual areas of the body, during which the muscles and soft tissues of the human body relax. They restore their physiological mobility, rhythmic contraction of the craniosacral system.

The duration of the therapy session lasts from one hour to one and a half. After this, the patient experiences lightness in the body, cheerfulness, and a feeling of “rebirth.” This is the first sign of recovery. With each procedure there is a noticeable improvement in the patient's condition.

What diseases does this method of therapy treat?

Craniosacral therapy is used for the following pathologies:

In addition, CST is used for preventive purposes.

What knowledge and skills should a specialist in this industry have?

Only a well-trained osteopath can use this type of manual therapy. This is a specialist who can restore musculoskeletal balance in the body using non-drug methods. Diagnosis and treatment of diseases is carried out only with the help of hands.

The therapist must be proficient in all modern techniques, methods that are used in craniosacral therapy, and have extensive experience in working with patients. To do this, the specialist must have a higher medical education and complete special courses aimed at studying craniosacral therapy.

What are the conditions and rules of the CST

This type of manual therapy is carried out in a medical institution in a specially equipped room. During the procedure, the patient should feel relaxed and calm. To do this, the doctor provides a comfortable environment so that no one can interrupt the treatment session, turns on calm, quiet music, and devotes all his time to the patient.

Rules:

What are the results of therapy

Craniosacral therapy, what it is, how it works, is described above, craniosacral therapy, the cost of a session in Kyiv is 500 hryvnia per hour. After attending sessions of craniosacral therapy, the patient feels lightness in the body, vigor and a feeling of “rebirth” appear. This is the first sign of recovery.

But all patients should know that complete recovery cannot be achieved in just one therapy session. After each procedure, changes in the body for the better are noticed. This method of treatment is widely used for complex diseases of the body not only in adults, but also in children and achieves good results.

Contraindications for craniosacral therapy

This type of manual therapy is not used in the presence of acute infections of infectious origin. Contraindications may be:

• diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
• pathologies of the respiratory system;
• infectious damage to the skeletal and muscular system;
• skin lesions;
• dysfunction of the nervous system.

This type of therapy cannot be used for cancer, or if there is a vascular aneurysm in the body.

Use of therapy in children

Nowadays, the use of craniosacral therapy in childhood is very common. Many studies have confirmed its effectiveness in both newborns and adolescents. The only difficulty in using this method is that often the child cannot accurately localize where the pain is located. It is necessary to contact a pediatric osteopath in the following cases:

If there are concerns about sending a child for such procedures, parents are advised to undergo several sessions in order to feel the maximum effectiveness of this method in their own body. Craniosacral therapy in Moscow is carried out for a child on the basis of the Moscow branch of the Aplezhder Institute. The price depends on the procedures performed, starting from 700 rubles.
