ABOUT BCST

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a very gentle practice, using a light touch to listen to the body's subtle rhythms and fluid circulation, supporting the body's natural healing and self-repair processes.

Ideal for Infants

BCST is well known for its effectiveness in treating babies and young children. Because of its gentle approach, it is even appropriate for newborns. BCST can have a profound effect by resolving issues early in life and preventing long term impact on the child’s physical and emotional being.

Craniosacral Therapy is helpful for many issue infants may experience, including the following:

Birth stress or trauma
Breastfeeding latch difficulty
Tongue and lip ties
Head turning preferences
Sleep patterns/disturbances
Colic, indigestion, and acid reflux
Discomfort, inability to settle
Mood or neurological disturbances
Weaning and teething stress

During a session the infant can be held by a parent or by the practitioner, always safely supported and comfortable. Though the focus may be primarily on the child, parents* may feel the benefits of softening and calming in their own systems.

*Parenthood can be exhausting and overwhelming. If you are a new parent, consider BCST treatment yourself to address all the new challenges and stresses you are experiencing.

Craniosacral Therapy For Adults

As we live our lives we all accumulate stress, illnesses, pain and imbalances in our bodies and minds. BCST practitioners bring the awareness to their practice of the inherent health of a person’s whole being and facilitate the natural rebalancing of the nervous system, as well as addressing the effects of physical constrictions – blocks and restrictions within the body’s structure which can arise from everyday stress, injury, emotional and physical trauma, and chronic illness and disease.

This rebalancing occurs by an attunement of the therapist’s influences on the spinal column, central nervous system, and cerebrospinal fluid & other fluid systems while perceiving and supporting subtle movements of the body’s tissues and fluids. The potency that unfolds from this biodynamic process is palpable and can lead to a greater sense of ease and comfort by helping decrease symptoms and also by allowing the body to access and maintain deeper states of relaxation.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy addresses many issues, including:

Anxiety
Stress
Injury and post surgery recovery and rehabilitation
