Sacro-Cranial Therapy in Tavira
Physical and emotional balance through this osteopathic technique of gentle and precise touches
At Spiralis Health Concept, in Tavira, Craniosacral Therapy is a non-invasive technique that works on the body in a subtle way, promoting the overall balance of the nervous system and emotions.
Through very light touches, the therapist helps to release deep tensions that affect well-being, posture, breathing, and even emotional state.
It is a therapy that supports the body's natural healing process, reinforcing harmony and vitality.
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
The Sacro-Cranial Therapy is based on the observation of the sacro-cranial rhythm, a natural and rhythmic movement of the cerebrospinal fluid — the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.
When this movement is restricted by physical tension, stress, or trauma, pain, fatigue, emotional disturbances, and imbalances throughout the body may arise.
The therapist uses gentle touches and slow movements to restore the natural circulation of this fluid, relieving blockages and promoting the proper functioning of the central nervous system.

Somato-Emotional Release (SER)
Somato-Emotional Release (SER) is an extension of Craniosacral Therapy.
At Spiralis Health Concept, this approach is applied in a safe and personalised way, integrating body and mind within a deep therapeutic process.
Its aim is to release the body and mind from the residual effects of physical and emotional trauma which, in many cases, can remain for years and impact overall wellbeing.
During a session, the therapist acts as a facilitator, supporting the person through a process of deep release, without interfering with their decisions or emotions.
Through attentive touch and specific techniques involving dialogue and the reading of the body’s fascia, it is possible to identify and release areas of tension known as “energy cysts” — physical or emotional memories that block the natural flow of energy and vitality.
This approach helps the patient reconnect with themselves, bringing clarity, calm and lightness.
