Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Discover the Power of Gentle Healing
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a non-invasive, light-touch therapy that restores and maintains health by supporting your body’s natural healing abilities. Rooted in osteopathy and enriched by advances in neuroscience, trauma resolution, and human development, BCST addresses conditions stemming from stress, injury, and emotional overwhelm. At Remedial Wellness, our experienced practitioners use BCST to help you achieve physical vitality, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?
BCST combines a deep understanding of the body with mindfulness and a unique type of gentle touch. While not a manipulative therapy, BCST is influenced by the discoveries of osteopath Dr. William Garner Sutherland and has evolved to include insights from neuroscience, trauma resolution, and pre- and perinatal psychology. Practitioners use this advanced therapy to identify and release deeply held tensions, allowing the body to return to a natural state of balance and ease.
What to Expect During a Session
A typical BCST session lasts 45 to 90 minutes. You’ll remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on a treatment table, as the practitioner creates a calm and supportive environment. Using a gentle touch, your practitioner listens to your body’s patterns and guides you in exploring sensations. BCST principles focus on amplifying your body’s natural inclination toward health. Clients often notice physical releases, shifts in temperature, and a profound sense of relaxation and relief during and after the session.
What Makes BCST Unique?
BCST is a holistic therapy that works with the physical, fluid, and energetic systems of the body. Its focus on the nervous system allows for profound benefits, including reduced inflammation, improved tissue healing, and lower stress levels. By helping the nervous system return to a balanced state, BCST also enhances immune function and supports overall health. Many clients report increased energy, mental clarity, and resilience after several sessions.
