Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST)
About Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST):
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle, non-invasive, holistic healing approach focusing on the body’s innate ability to self-regulate and heal. It works with the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
BCST’s origins can be traced back to the early 20th century when osteopath William Sutherland discovered subtle movements in the cranial bones. This led to the development of Cranial Osteopathy, which later influenced Dr. John Upledger’s creation of Craniosacral Therapy in the 1970s. In the 1980s, Franklyn Sills pioneered the biodynamic approach, emphasising the body’s inherent health expressions and natural healing processes.
Practitioners use light touch to detect and release tensions, facilitating the body’s return to its natural balance. BCST addresses physical discomfort and emotional well-being, making it a comprehensive approach to holistic health.
Over the years, BCST has gained worldwide recognition for its profound therapeutic effects, with practitioner communities emerging in many countries.

How Does BCST Work ?
BCST harnesses the body’s innate healing capacity through gentle, non-invasive touch. Practitioners interact with subtle bodily rhythms and energy fields to release tensions and restore balance.
The fully-clothed client rests comfortably on a treatment table during a session. The therapist applies a light touch to the head, sacrum, and feet, attuning to the body’s natural patterns. This approach allows practitioners to detect and work with subtle movements in the body’s fluid and tissue fields. BCST supports the body’s inherent health expressions, facilitating natural adjustments from within.
