Praxis Sahli (Wabern)

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy originated from osteopathy and is characterized by a holistic view of the human energy system.

All levels of body, soul, mind and heart are addressed and supported in your health and ability to heal yourself.

A Cranio treatment begins already with the conversation. We look at what is showing today, what issue, discomfort or pain would like to be seen. Sometimes there are clear words for a condition/pain and sometimes it is more of a body feeling or even just a hunch. We also have the opportunity to look at something from a bird's eye view with a little distance and to feel / look at it.

Furthermore, the treatment takes place clothed on the couch. Through body touch and anatomical knowledge I feel the flow of body rhythms, dynamics (of tissues, fluids and energies), shifts, and let myself be guided by subtle impulses.

Through this mindful presence the body finds deep relaxation, the autonomic nervous system can come to rest.

Especially in difficult times, when the flood of thoughts never seems to calm down, fears arise, as well as in mental and physical pain, our body protects itself. It contracts, tenses up, forms new pain patterns, fears become greater and pain stronger.

In deep relaxation, in silence and in fine body perception, blockages are released and we come back into contact with our inherent health and our power.

💫 The treatment takes place in everyday/comfortable clothing on a couch.

💫 For adults, children and babies & pregnant women.

💫 Bodywork with a lot of care, mindfulness and value freedom.

💫 The bodywork leads deep into silence

💛 To be able to feel and live the inherent power again.

Emergence & Discovery of the craniosacral therapy form:

The craniosacral form of treatment was further developed into "cranial osteopathy" at the beginning of the 20th century by Dr. William Garner Sutherland on the basis of osteopathy (bone medicine). The name craniosacral therapy is composed of the terms cranium (skull) and sacrum (sacrum).

The two poles skull and sacrum form a unit with the brain and spinal cord membranes (membranes), in which the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsates rhythmically. This rhythm is transmitted to the entire body and influences the development and functioning of the whole person. Changes in this system provide the necessary indications for therapeutic work with the affected anatomical and energetic structures.

Dr. Sutherland made another discovery: he found that behind the rhythmic movements of cerebrospinal fluid is a force that sets these movements in motion. He called this force Primary Respiration or Breath of Life - the spark that sets the system in motion.

The Breath of Life expresses itself throughout the body and is directly connected to the lung breathing (secondary breathing) and the tissue breathing of the central nervous system, which regulate the entire body functions. Thus, with craniosacral therapy we have a holistic form of treatment.

Further offer

Upon consultation, we can also complement craniosacral therapy with the following therapeutic methods, depending on the reason for treatment:

Classical massage:

To release tense muscle areas and stuck fascia. Blood circulation is promoted and blockages and states of tension can be relieved.

Gentle vertebral therapy according to Dorn:

Dorn therapy is a method of correcting vertebral misalignments, pelvic misalignment and leg length discrepancy gently yet with a little more assistance than cranio. Displaced vertebrae are repositioned gently and with movement of the client.

Acupoint massage:

APM therapy is a newer method whose foundations come from both traditional Chinese medicine and Western manual therapy theories. (Acupuncture massage is performed without needles).

The primary goal of APM therapy is to promote the flow of energy in the meridians. This involves stimulating the meridians and acupuncture points and balancing out any excess or deficiency of energy. The resulting energetic balance leads to relaxation throughout the body. This optimally prepares the body for the subsequent gentle static treatments of the spine, pelvis and joints.
