Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST)

What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST)?  It is a gentle yet powerful therapeutic approach that works with the body's innate intelligence and nervous system.  By using skillful light touch, the therapist facilitates client's release of tension and restores balance realigning the body expediting healing and improved function.

​

BCST taps into the body's original healing, known as the "Breath of Life", and supports the body's natural mechanisms to heal and reorganise.  After a BCST session, clients often experience enhanced physical and emotional wellbeing.

​

Biodynamic craniosacral therapy evolved from osteopathy, originating in the late 1800s with osteopath Dr. William Garner Sutherland.  Sutherland developed Cranial Osteopathy after discovering that the bones of the skull were designed to have movement, which he terms the "Primary Respiratory Mechanism".  The biodynamic approach was later further developed by osteopaths like James S. Jealous and Rollin Becker.

​

What to expect in a session:

​

During a BCST session, your therapist will first ask about your health history and current concerns.  You will then be invited to lie fully clothed on a therapeutic table.  The therapist will gently place their hands on your body and guide you to explore your body's awareness.  This process allow you to notice areas of tension or deeply held restrictions, which, once recognised, can begin to release.

​

As you enter a state of deep relaxation, your body can initiate its healing process - releasing tension, reorganising, and integrating for improved health.  Clients often report profound sensations of peace, relaxation, and emotional release, as well as reduced pain and improved alignment.
