Craniosacral bodywork
Craniosacral bodywork is an alternative form of therapy that aims to promote physical, emotional and mental health and well-being. It is based on the assumption that the body is able to heal itself if the right conditions are created. This therapy can also be used for people with disabilities.
Craniosacral bodywork focuses on the craniosacral system, which consists of the brain, spinal cord, cranial bones, sacrum and the membranes surrounding these structures. The craniosacral rhythm created by the movement of fluid in the system can be an indicator of physical and emotional health. The therapist uses light touch and gentle pressure to feel the craniosacral rhythm and identify possible blockages or disturbances in the system.
Through craniosacral bodywork, tension and blockages in the craniosacral system can be released, which can lead to improved circulation and nerve function. This can help to improve physical well-being and alleviate pain. In addition, the treatment can also promote emotional well-being by reducing stress and calming the nervous system.
People with disabilities can benefit from craniosacral bodywork as they often suffer from muscle tension and pain that can be caused by their disability. The gentle touch and light pressure of the therapy can help to relieve this tension and pain and improve physical well-being. In addition, the treatment can also help to improve the emotional well-being of people with disabilities by helping them to relax and reduce stress.
However, it is important to note that craniosacral bodywork is not a medical treatment and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical care. It is advisable to consult a doctor or qualified therapist before using craniosacral bodywork on people with disabilities.
