Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, relaxing session that, through light touch, can facilitate the body’s natural powers of self-healing. It is a non-manipulative session that developed from the work of American Osteopath Dr. William Garner Sutherland in the early 1900s. It has continued to evolve and is now practised separately from Osteopathy as Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. All the systems of the body can benefit from Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. These include the Cardiovascular System, Endocrine, Digestive, Respiratory, Excretory, Lymphatic, Reproductive, Muscular, Skeletal and Central Nervous System.
The therapist’s hands are used to listen not only to the intrinsic movements of the bones of the head and spinal column, the membranes and the cerebrospinal fluid (which surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord) but also the movements of the other systems and organs. Palpation of these subtle internal rhythms can facilitate access to health already in existence in the body and result in release in areas of restriction, effecting structural change, increased physical energy and sense of wellbeing; and have much wider implications, both emotionally and spiritually.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy can improve quality of life in general, as well as help with specific issues. It is so gentle that it is suitable for all, from babies suffering from colic or birth trauma to the elderly and those who are fragile or suffering from acute pain. It can also assist with recovery from accidents, falls and strains and help with emotional and traumatic conditions and states.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy can help you address a wide range of physical and emotional concerns, including ante and postnatal issues, back and neck pain, birth trauma, colic and crying in babies, digestive problems, immune system disorders, insomnia, menstrual pain and PMS, migraines, re-integration after accidents, respiratory issues, sciatica, sinusitis, sports injuries, stress-related illnesses, tinnitus and middle ear problems, TMJ (jaw) disorders and whiplash injuries.
