Biodynamic Cranial Therapy / Cranial Therapy / Craniosacral Therapy

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.

Biodynamic Cranial Therapy
Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy, or simply Cranial Therapy, is a non-invasive, direct means for tapping into the body’s inherent healing intelligence, which is often referred to as “The Breath of Life." It is a powerful approach that is becoming more widely used 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 can be created from unresolved trauma, thus becoming 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.
