THE DEPTH IS WHERE WE BEGIN
This is where tension softens, the nervous system unwinds and healing flows.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that helps restore and maintain health in the human body by regulating the nervous system.
Craniosacral work has its roots in Osteopathy as well as Indigenous traditions —particularly those of the Indigenous Shawnee peoples—and has evolved to include advances in neuroscience, human development, pre- and perinatal psychology, and trauma resolution. Practitioners are trained to facilitate the resolution of conditions resulting from stress, overwhelm, and injury.
The biodynamic approach to craniosacral work acknowledges the inherent health of the body.
COMMON ISSUES CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY HELPS PEOPLE TO MEET, MANAGE & MITIGATE:
Anxiety, Arthritis, Asthma, Back Pain/Sciatica, Birth Trauma, C-PTSD, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Concussion (physical & emotional), Depression, Digestive Disorders, ED Recovery, Exhaustion, Gout, Headaches, Immune System Disorders, Insomnia, Long Covid, Lyme, Migraine, Post-Operative Conditions, SA Trauma Work, Sports-Related Injury, Stress, TBI, Tinnitus & Middle Ear problems, TMJ (Jaw) disorders, Torticollis, Visual Disturbances, Whiplash & more.
Craniosacral Therapy is a supportive, complementary practice to psychotherapy, physical therapy, and medical treatments such as chemotherapy.
BCST is grounded in the understanding that the body is inherently oriented toward health. Even in the presence of trauma or dis-ease, the body continually seeks balance. Through stillness, areas of potency reveal themselves — places where this movement toward health is most active.
When we acknowledge potency, whether it appears as discomfort, emotion, or tension, we honour the body’s efforts to protect and heal, inviting the possibility of integration and release.
The body remembers.
BCST makes space
for it.
