Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle non-invasive, hands-on therapy that uses a light, still touch to help the body heal and regulate itself.   Performed on a massage table, and the client is fully clothed, warm and comfortable.  It can help with a variety of conditions and is suitable for people of all ages. 

How it works

• Focuses on the nervous system: BCST helps identify and balance parts of the nervous system that aren’t functioning well. 
• Promotes natural healing: BCST is based on the idea that the body has an innate healing power that can be accessed through gentle touch and dialogue. 
• Helps release tension: BCST can help release tension and pain patterns that may be caused by stress, trauma, or other factors. 
• Client-led: The patient sets the pace of the session and determines what feels comfortable. The therapist will check in with the patient to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. 
• What to expect: During a session, the therapist will use light touch on areas like the head, face, shoulders, neck back, abdomen, feet, joints and sacrum. 
• The patient may experience a deep sense of relaxation, shifting, or release. 
• It can help people feel more regulated and resilient in the face of stress and trauma.
