What Is This Type of Treatment?
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that supports the body’s natural ability to heal by recognizing the deep integration of body and soul.
Rather than focusing on fixing isolated areas of discomfort, BCST takes a whole-person view. The practitioner listens for and supports the natural forces of health already present within the body, allowing them to find new balance and organization.
Rooted in Osteopathy, BCST was shaped by the pioneering work of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still and Dr. William Sutherland, who explored how subtle movements within the body reflect its underlying health and vitality.
Dr. Still wrote, “The soul of man, with all the streams of pure living water, seems to dwell in the fascia of his body.” In Osteopathic thought, fascia is not only a connective tissue but also a vessel for life and spirit—a place where the body and soul are joined.
Through this understanding, touch in BCST becomes more than a physical act; it becomes a dialogue with the body’s innate intelligence, inviting restoration, harmony, and peace at every level of being.
