What is BCST?

BCST is a gentle, hands-on therapy that works with the energy and rhythms of the body. It helps release blockages and patterns of tension. It is an excellent treatment for stress, anxiety, and chronic pain, as well as an excellent preventive therapy.

BCST is not a manipulative therapy; it works with the natural forces that regulate the body’s health. The neutral touch of the therapist and the relational field between therapist and client create a sense of safety. This safe space allows for traumatic experiences to emerge and resolve smoothly without being overwhelming or re-stimulating. The conditions are then set for the body’s natural energies to mobilize restrictions across the connective tissue matrix.

BCST is deeply rooted in the origins of craniosacral healing from the Osteopathic tradition. It is an evolved approach developed to work with trauma processes. The therapist’s embodied experience, touch and presence are the key components in creating a relational field that generates a deep sense of safety and a capacity to heal from within.

Within each of us is the blueprint of health. When we connect with the blueprint of health through our own inner resources, our body naturally moves toward it.
