WHAT IS BIODYNAMIC CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY (BCST)?

“In the depths of stillness, within the cerebrospinal fluid, lies the wisdom of the body – a wisdom that speaks of health, wholeness, and the inherent potential for healing.”

– Dr. William G. Sutherland (1873 – 1954) Osteopathic Doctor, Founder of Cranial Osteopathy

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle yet profound hands-on form of touch therapy. “Bio” means life and “dynamic” means power or energy; Life in motion. “Cranio” refers to the cranium and “Sacral” refers to the sacrum, the two poles of the spine, which make up the craniosacral system. The craniosacral system encompasses the brain and spinal cord, which make up our central nervous system; the body’s command centre. A balanced nervous system can promote tissue healing and turn the volume down on inflammation and stress. 

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapists work with the forces that create and maintain health in the body, trusting the body’s innate intelligence and ability to heal. We are trained in attuning to the motions and rhythms expressed in the body through the use of skillful touch, which help us attune to how life moves through the body. In this work we avoid imposing an agenda, and instead aim to support the body in what it is already trying to do; return to optimal health.red to your unique needs.
