is a safe and gentle form of manual therapy performed by an osteopath, in which self-healing processes are activated. The physiotherapist listens and, in close cooperation with the patient, eliminates restrictions and disorders in his body. The therapy is based on the theory of the movement of both the bones of the skull and the sacrum and the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid between them. Normal craniosacral rhythm is 6 to 10 cycles per minute. The disease disrupts this rhythm by slowing it down or increasing it.

The therapist influences the mobility of the skull bones and, with the help of delicate manual techniques, removes the distortions between them. With the help of gentle touch, compression and traction, the therapist restores the proper flow of body fluids. Each trauma, injury or accident leaves a trace in the patient's body, causing restriction in the connective tissue. In young children, it may be, for example, difficult childbirth or being wrapped in an umbilical cord. TCK therapy helps to find these places and improve or change the flow in tissues that have experienced this trauma.
