Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy /Medical Theory/Craniotherapy.com

* The brain and the spinal cord are surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In order to keep the nervous system well bathed, nurtured and in good health the fluid tends to flow up and down the spinal cord with a steady rhythm.

* The bones of our body are in continual motion as the CSF is being pumped. By palpating the bones the therapist is able to find restrictions in the flow of CST.

* Organs or areas of the body that are supplied by nerves originating in an area of restriction along the spinal cord, often show signs of pain or unease.

* The therapist is trained to detect tiny variations in movement as well as to perform techniques, which will free up the flow.

* Restriction patterns can be caused by emotional or physical trauma, which include accidents, illness, abuse, overwork, stress; they can even stem from dental work or birth trauma.

* The traumatic events are essentially ‘frozen’ into our body’s physical memory and are felt as pain or restriction, until they are discovered and released by the craniosacral therapist.
