Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy (BCST) is a naturalistic and holistic approach to healthcare.  Health is a living intelligence and a therapeutic force. It facilitates growth, development, regeneration and recovery, from the moment of conception onward, throughout life.

​

There has long been a recognition of the human body’s power to repair and self-heal. Medical science has not been able to explain the processes that operate in recovery and self-healing. Hippocrates, the founder of modern medicine, regarded this phenomenon as the healing force of nature. In his view, the task of the physician is merely to assist the healing force in it's work. BCST recognises this healing force or biodynamic potency as the force that maintains optimal function for all body systems. When the system achieves a state of homeostasis or balance, it functions as a coherent whole, with all parts working together in perfect unison and co-operation. These are optimal conditions for the body to recover from injury, illness or an imbalance of any kind. 

​

While most medical approaches rely on external intervention in the form of medication, surgery or manipulation to combat disease, CranioSacral therapists follow Hippocrates’ advice and harness the body’s inherent self-healing potential to restore health where it has been compromised.

BCST's holistic approach makes it effective in working with a wide range of seemingly intractable conditions. Since it is safe and non-invasive with no contraindications, it also works well as a complementary therapy to support the medical treatment of various conditions. In the absence of any particular health issue, it is experienced as restful, rejuvenating and as a boost to vitality and well-being.
