"Biodynamic" refers to a branch of Craniosacral therapy that is less manipulative than other forms. The practitioner creates a space of allowing the tissues to move toward a more balanced state and maintains a supportive environment so that the client's system generates therapeutic change from within.

Craniosacral therapy originates from osteopathy. It is conducted through a light purposeful touch, assisting the body into its natural state of being - stillness. This deep healing state reminds the body of its own capacity to regenerate and its ability of releasing deep rooted trauma. It can provide the resource and strength for permanent change to improve your physical and emotional wellbeing.

There are many different ways to describe what CST is. One of the ways that really resonates with me is ...

This work takes your body out of the sympathetic state (fight or flight) and into the parasympathetic state (rest and digest). This is imperative to healing. Basically it is a toning down of the autonomic nervous system which has a knock-on effect through all the other systems in the body.

Your nervous system gives priority always to what is happening right now. Your past injuries, emotional & physical, are stored in the tissues of the body. These are called holding patterns. From my personal experience of my own injuries in the past and witnessing my clients, craniosacral therapy is extremely effective in releasing these holding patterns.

It is a whole-person approach, acknowledging that the mind, body and spirit are one. It treats the source of the issue. Stress and anxiety are reduced and the client often leaves with a greater sense of calmness and centeredness.

Through a series of treatments the client can then experience increased vitality, a sense of wellbeing and a greater sense of enjoyment in their lives. As a result symptoms can improve, moving the client away from old patterns and dis- ease and into a renewed state of optimum health.
