Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

Experiencing stress, headaches, aches or pains?

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a light, non-manipulative therapy that helps calm the nervous system, encouraging the body’s natural healing processes. 

Natural Holistic Therapy 

Biodynamic craniosacral therapy provides a natural, permission-based approach. 

A major focus of Biodynamic craniosacral therapy is the calming of the nervous system. By focusing on the parasympathetic states, it creates physiological conditions supporting the body’s healing. 

At Karrinyup Wellness Centre, we’re passionate about taking a holistic approach to our patients’ health. We use non-invasive methods that aim to facilitate the healing of underlying causes and encourage interconnectedness. 

Biodynamic Craniosacral Treatment

Permission-Based Approach

Each patient is unique, and biodynamic craniosacral therapy considers the interconnectedness of the body, mind and spirit throughout treatment, supporting the achievement of benefits across these aspects of your health. Unlike other therapies, Biodynamic Craniosacral Treatment does not use force or direct correction, but rather listens to the client’s body and adjusts to what it needs.

How It Works 

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a modern extension of the osteopathic systems of medicine of the 1800s, combining modern innovations in medicine with traditional wisdom.

As a holistic therapy, connecting the physical, emotional and spiritual, biodynamic craniosacral therapy may benefit a patient’s wellbeing across the three aspects.

Working with the craniosacral system, between the cranium and the bottom of the spine, biodynamic craniosacral therapists calm the central nervous system, promoting the parasympathetic nervous system’s “rest and digest” response, promoting natural healing and self-correction.

As part of this relaxation response, the nervous system blocks the stress response, which, among several benefits, decreases the physiological and psychological burdens of chronic stress.

Frequently Asked Questions about Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

What is 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.

How Can a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist Help Me?
