ABOUT BCST
What is BCST?
Benefits of BCST
Benefits of BCST
BCST is a gentle, hands on or distance (touch free) therapy that relieves tension within the structures and tissues surrounding the central nervous system promoting whole body health and proper function. Many symptoms that bring people to craniosacral therapy are related to difficulties in nervous system regulation. The primary benefit of BCST is supporting this homeostatic physiological balance. Everyday our body endures stressors that it constantly seeks to balance out; however sometimes our tissues tighten under the strain or our physiology gets stuck in it’s stress response. Sometimes our body will even hold patterns of tension from previous experiences as far back in our history as birth! BCST helps to ease the environment around the central nervous system, supporting its natural rhythm and ability for self repair. In the Biodynamic approach to CST we are interested in how the organizing forces of Life are expressed in the tissues, fluids and energetic fields of the body. These subtle movements can be palpated by trained, sensitive hands that deeply listen to the whole of the being they are in contact with. This unique type of touch is light and reverential, without any force or manipulation, and also combined with the calm, embodied presence of the therapist. This combination creates a sense of safety that allows a body to let go of the patterns and experiences it is holding and find resolution. By helping clients reestablish their own balanced rhythm, the regenerative powers of the body are able to make intrinsic internal adjustments. Healing comes from within the client, rather than from an outside source! BCST is a gentle therapy appropriate for a wide variety of clients including pre- and postnatal women, newborns, young children, adults and the elderly. Clients seek treatment for many different symptoms including pain, fatigue, stress and related difficulties. Clients are also interested in improving their overall physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

BCST is a gentle therapy due to its non-invasive, non-manipulative nature. It is a therapy that focuses on the health in your system and facilitating the body to self repair. A foundation of BCST is that health is always present no matter the ailment. If the focus has been on illness, trauma or pain, a connection with a sense of health can be lost. BCST can help you reconnect to the health and vitality within. After a series of treatments many clients notice an improvement in their symptoms such as:
- A reduction in pain
- Improved sleep and digestion

Pregnancy, birth and newborns
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy can help a woman’s body adjust to the changes created by pregnancy. Treatments during the term of the pregnancy can also support the new mother to approach labour with strength, confidence and vitality. Working with mothers and babies postnatally can help with recovery from the the rigors of childbirth.
Babies respond very well to Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and it is particularly beneficial to rebalance the whole body system within the first year. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is extremely gentle and respectful to the baby, and recognizes that babies are conscious and very aware.
Many babies experience strong compressive forces during birth, which can cause a contraction within their system. This can manifest as shock and trauma, leading to other conditions. If treated at this stage the birth trauma can be resolved before traumatic holding patterns become set within the physical body.
Birth trauma can lead to a myriad of conditions experienced by babies and if not corrected these can lead to significant life long health issues. The wisdom of dealing with any trauma experienced during birth, as soon as possible after birth, is obvious.

Acknowledging Trauma
Many health conditions have their origins in physical or emotional trauma. Trauma is any experience that overwhelms your system’s ability to cope, which causes the old parts of your brain to to become stuck in a fight or flight or freeze state. If your physiology is stuck, you are stuck in repeating life-or-death protective reflexes. Over time this can contribute to many different symptoms. The good news is that the physiology of trauma is much simpler then the psychology; there is a way to heal trauma in a bottom-up approach where we do not need to understand or remember all the overwhelming things that happened. BCST works particularly well with the physiology of trauma, gently facilitating resolution through nervous system regulation. The intention of BCST is to renegotiate trauma in a contained, slowly paced way so that the client can feel safe and build their capacity to be with difficult sensations and feelings. This allows their body to process the protective reflexes that are working way too hard and return to a state of homeostasis. In turn the client begins to experience ease, calm, joy and a regained sense of self.
