Whether your first port of call, or your last resort after trying every other technique, modality or medication out there, then this is an amazing way of working with the body. It helps you naturally free yourself of pain, stress, discomfort and allows many conditions to heal.
Craniosacral therapists recognise health as an active principle. This health is the expression of life - an inherent ordering force, a natural internal intelligence. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a subtle and profound healing form which assists this natural bodily intelligence. Unlike other techniques that involve manipulations like physio or chiropractic this therapy is led by the client, allowing their system to set the pace at which adjustments take place and the order in which change occurs. It is also not like energy therapies such as reiki as there is no channelling or transferring of energy. Listening to the body through craniosacral touch can bring about a reorganisation that is physiological and psychological. As this is a gentle therapy, it is suitable for all ages, including newborns, the elderly and people with delicate, degenerative or painful conditions.
BCST originates in Osteopathy from the mid 1800s from Dr WG Sutherland who developed an approach known as the Cranial Concept?. Since then it has been refined into a profound, gentle and effective way of working with the whole body.
Numerous conditions can be helped with BCST as it often deals with the stress and trauma held in the body which originates in most problems. Mothers and babies find great benefit through the effects of pregnancy and birth process and developing problems such as excessive crying, colic, breast feeding etc. Physical pain, nervous system and neurological disorders can be greatly helped. Other conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue, Multiple Sclerosis, Depressions, Sleeping disorders, Autism, Stroke and hormonal issues, etc, have shown to benefit.
