Abstract:

The techniques of the Craniosacral Osteopathy are still difficult to verify. This paper shall serve as a contribution to prove the positive effects of the craniosacral therapy on the patients’ health. As the notochord is the first structural median line in our body (Upledger. 2003), I would like to question if the craniosacral work can change the right – left and forefoot – heel strain to such an extent that it becomes measurable by means of a force plate. My hypothesis is that the ‘centre of pressure of the test persons moves towards the crossing of x and y axis of the pressure measuring plate (symmetry) and that the balance (postural stability) improves. Methodology: All the test persons are competitive athletes from the field of cross-country skiing, alpine skiing and snowboarding. With bandaged eyes they are placed three times for 20 seconds on the SP Sport force plate (Pernitsch Österreich) of the commercial ski school Schladming. On this occasion the forefoot strain in relation to the heel strain and the strain of the right foot in relation to the left foot are measured. After that the test persons lie down on a treatment couch and here the craniosacral technique on the notochord takes place. Immediately after the treatment the test persons are placed with the same foot position another three times for 20 seconds on the force plate. If this technique has positive influences on symmetry and balance when standing upright the effect of this craniosacral technique on our body can confirmed. This would be a possibility to bring about performance enhancements in competitive sports. Hypothesis: I proceed on the assumption that the craniosacral technique used in this trial leads to an improvement of symmetry, measured throw the standard deviation by the force plate and the equilibrium, measured throw the deviation by the force plate.
