WHAT IS BIODYNAMIC CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY?

Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy is a unique therapy, for your whole body.  It assists your own body's natural healing process to balance the mind, body and spirit. Creating health & wellbeing from within.

The Craniosacral system consists of membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord, as well as the attached bones.

The Craniosacral system plays an essential role in maintaining the environment in which our central nervous system (CNS) functions.  This is vital for how the CNS operates and everything it relates too.  The CNS send messages to and from all parts of your body. Therefore changes that occur in the cranio sacral system can have an effect on our health & our whole being.

 

WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

A whole range of conditions from Pain & Trauma, Accidents & Injuries, Anxiety & Depression to Breathing & Digestive problems and Stress & Emotional issues.

Also for tiredness and to assist recovery Pre and Post Surgery.

In Children for example it has also helped with Sleeping difficulties, Hyperactivity, Autism, Anxiety or Not reaching their milestones.

 

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION?

I first take a full history including the reasons you came to Craniosacral therapy and what you'd like to change.

You lie on a massge table fully clothed and I will guide you.

I create a safe space, which allows your body to just 'be' whilst deeply listening.  This brings about a reorganisation in the body for healthy change.

​

With younger children I often work with them whilst they play or they may prefer to sit and myself or their parent may read to them. They can also lie on a massage table, fully clothed and I will talk to them as needed, after asking permission I place my hands gently on their body in a comfortable position.

​

HOW LONG IS A SESSION?

An initial consultation also involves the history taking, the first time is one and a half hours for adults. Subsequent sessions are up to an hour.

For children under the age of 16 initial sessions are an hour and subsequent are up to half an hour.  

 

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

This varies depending on why you've come and your concerns from person to person. A few people only need a couple, many need half a dozen and then others especially if there has been trauma may need regular treatment for a while. Some people like to continue, finding it restorative, recharging and supports them to reach their goals.
