Biodynamic Cranial Therapy / Cranial Therapy / Craniosacral Therapy

Biodynamic Cranial Therapy
Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy, or simply Cranial Therapy, is a non-invasive, way into the body’s inherent healing intelligence. Direct and powerful, the approach is gaining momentum within the healing arts. Cranial Therapy can be called upon to help issues occurring in the physical, emotional, and/or spiritual bodies. Inertia or disturbances created by unresolved trauma, can become encapsulated within our bodies. Through profound listening, observation, and stillness, the inherent health within a disturbance can become the source of resolution. Harmony and balance can thus be reestablished within and throughout the physical, spiritual, and emotional bodies.

Biodynamic Massage

Biodymanic Massage, developed by Todd Jackson, is a combination of deep tissue massage with biodynamic cranial therapy. It is an integration of patient, deep pressure and acute attention to subtle energetic changes throughout the entire body. This patient approach allows patterns of tension and stress, that have long been held within the multi dimensional layers of the body, a chance to unwind deeply into its source, often resulting in relief and freshness in those areas.
The application of Biodynamic Massage is generally slow and deliberate, and though deep pressure is applied, it is at a level that is comfortable for the client. Donna will stay with a particularly density until there is a felt change within the tissues buoyancy. Often relieving changes are made throughout the entire body due to this localized attention and global awareness.

Some History
Cranialsacral Therapy, as it is practiced today, is over 100 years old and is based on the vision of Dr. William Garner Sutherland. Dr. Sutherland, an Osteopath, devoted the last ten years of his life to an intense study of intrinsic healing. Through his observations he advised others to "allow physiologic function within to manifest its own unerring potency rather than apply a blind force from without." He also stated that all healthy living tissues breathed rhythmically with the motion of life. These rhythms include the fluctuations of cerebrospinal fluid, which bathes and nourishes the central nervous system. Dr. Sutherland's work has been interpreted and developed in several ways, resulting in a few fundamental styles of working, one of them being Biodynamic Cranial Therapy. This model of working is the most classical and perhaps the most true to its origin.
