Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a non-manipulative, soft touch therapy. A biodynamic craniosacral therapist listens to the rhythms of a patient’s body, applying gentle touch to calm and relax, coaxing the parasympathetic nervous system to engage the body’s “rest and digest” response.

During the body’s relaxation response it releases its physical and psychological stresses and traumas, as the body’s natural healing process is encouraged.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy helps relieve patients of the burdens of physiological and psychological stress.

By engaging the parasympathetic nervous system to engage the body’s “rest and digest” response, biodynamic craniosacral therapists can support patients with several conditions, such as migraines, anxiety and sleeping concerns.

Like adults, children can also benefit from biodynamic craniosacral therapy. Depending on their age a child’s session could be conducted lying on a massage table, playing on the floor or seated while reading a book. 

Biodynamic craniosacral therapy may help relax and ground children, supporting the treatment of anxiety, autism and processing disorders.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Appointments are non-invasive, fully clothed, and conducted on a massage table. They should be a calming, safe place for patients.

Appointments are permission-based and patient-led. The Treatment progresses based on your comfort and the requirements of your body.

While both therapies aim to support the body’s healing and balance, BCST tends to be more focused on a holistic, less interventionist approach, emphasising the body’s own rhythms and self-healing capacity, whereas traditional CST might use more specific techniques to address identified issues.

Anxiety, depression, circulatory disorders, learning difficulties,, TMJ and dental problems, and trauma of all kinds — birth, falls, accidents and other injuries, physical, sexual or emotional abuse, loss/grief, surgery, anaesthesia, P.T.S.D., among others.

As a general rule, three to ten sessions will have a significant impact on most people’s health, and in some cases only one session can make a dramatic difference. Often, clients receive regular sessions for longer periods of time, followed by an occasional tune-up to maintain health.

Yes, definitely. Craniosacral Therapy targets the autonomic nervous system, reducing stress and tension and works really with other therapies, like chiropractic, acupuncture, kinesiology and many more.

it is always good to have a quiet day after a session. So planning ahead to not going to a shopping centre or do anything too stimulating after a session, is a great idea.
