Craniosacral therapy

Do you suffer from ongoing tension, stress or complaints that just won't go away? Deep relaxation and release of tension in the body. Craniosacral therapy at Fysico Rotterdam helps you let go of tension, reduce complaints and regain your balance, so we can work together towards lasting recovery.

What is craniosacral therapy?

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle form of treatment that works with the connective tissue and the nervous system.
Connective tissue is found throughout the body and can hold on to tension. This tension can build up through physical strain, injuries, prolonged stress or major life events. When the body cannot release this tension properly, complaints can develop or persist.

So what exactly does craniosacral therapy do? During treatment, the therapist uses gentle touch to feel where tension is held in the body. By guiding the body through this, space is created to release tension and support the natural healing process.

Craniosacral therapy focuses on:

  • Reducing tension and complaints
  • Supporting the body's natural recovery
  • Restoring the balance between effort and relaxation
  • Improving your daily functioning

What can you expect from the treatment?

Treatment takes place in a calm setting, with you lying relaxed on the treatment table. Subtle hand techniques are used to reduce tension in the body.

Experiences with craniosacral therapy are often positive: many people find the treatment calm and relaxing. The aim is not only to reduce complaints, but also to restore balance in the body.

When can craniosacral therapy help you?

Craniosacral therapy is often used for complaints in which tension and overload play a role.

Craniosacral therapy for babies and children

Craniosacral therapy can also support babies and children, for example with restlessness, sleep problems or bowel complaints. The treatment is gentle and non-invasive, and always adapted to the child.

Who is this therapy suitable for?

Craniosacral therapy is particularly suitable for people who notice that tension plays a role in their complaints, or who find it hard to truly relax.

You may recognise this if you:

  • Find it hard to relax
  • Have had complaints for a long time
  • Aren't making enough progress with other treatments

Our view on craniosacral therapy

At Fysico Rotterdam we see craniosacral therapy as a valuable addition to regular physiotherapy.

While physiotherapy often focuses on movement and function, craniosacral therapy focuses more on relaxation, recovery and reducing tension in the body.

It is precisely this combination that allows us to approach complaints from several angles.


How we work at Fysico Rotterdam

During an extensive intake we carefully map out your complaints and situation. The therapist then uses gentle touch to feel where tension is held in your body. Based on this, we draw up a personal treatment plan.

The treatment is non-invasive and adapted to your body and situation. Thanks to its gentle approach, craniosacral therapy is suitable for a wide range of people, including children and people with chronic complaints.

Our approach is:

  • Personal and goal-oriented
  • Focused on the cause of your complaints
  • Tailored to your body and load capacity
