Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST)
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle light touch therapy that promotes the health of a well-being. Its biodynamic approach is to let the body itself to review the intelligence throughout the whole body.
With just a light touch, BCST practitioner can feel and understand the condition of various parts of the body, including the ease of motion in different levels and the rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid flowing between the cranium and the spinal cord. It is through BCST work that these tensions, restrictions, and distortions in the body can be resolved, and restore the health of the craniosacral system and the whole body.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) can be part of the treatment plan for conditions such as:
– Chronic Pain
– Migraine and Headache
– Stress and Tension Management
– Mood Management
– Insomnia
– Chronic Fatigue
– Fibromyalgia
– Trauma, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
– TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Syndrome
– Scoliosis
– Constipation
– Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
One of the major components in the heart of the BCST work is ‘primary respiration’, in which the body expands and contracts in a rhythmic tidal movement. Every cell in our body breathes, and every cell knows about the tide, during the inhalation and exhalation process. This animating force behind the primary respiration movement is called ‘the breath of life’, by Sutherland.
During the BCST session, the body goes through the three-stage healing process: Seeking, Setting, and Reorganization. ‘Seeking’ is step one that involves many movements in the body naturally seeking a state of balance. ‘Setting’ is step two that describes a pause or stillness when a state of balance is reached. ‘Reorganization’ is step three when primary respiration resumes, and a greater expression of health is being felt.
