Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

IMG_9843.jpg

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle restorative therapy derived from osteopath care. In this therapy, the practitioner tunes into the body’s fluid rhythms to identify physical and emotional blockages and restrictions with the goal of helping to restore the balance of the body’s nervous system and promote healing from within.

“BCST practitioners understand how an optimally functioning healthy nervous system performs. We are trained for years on how to use acute perceptions skills to perceived subtle physiological changes. We are also aware of the energetic map that underlies one’s basic health and symptomolgy. We believe that health is never lost no matter what the aliment. We use our ability to identify the parts of the nervous systems that are not functioning optimally and our awareness of the “always available health” in the body to assist the system in bringing itself back into balance. This supports greater ease and helps the body decrease symptoms.” ~Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association
