Craniosacral therapy is a gentle touch-based therapy which supports the health of the whole person. It’s not isolated to the craniosacral system as the name would suggest.

The practitioner generally starts the session by placing hands gently under ankles. Depending on what the clients body reveals and or symptoms present the practitioner will move positions.
All Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is conducted via light touch. No sudden movements or force applied to the body.
Practitioner will advise you of when movements take place and new contact is about to be made
Craniosacral Therapy is gentle touch-based therapy which supports the health of the whole person. It's not isolated to the craniosacral system as the name would suggest.
Therapists listen via a light touch to the body's natural rhythms of health. Skilled hands can sense & differentiate the natural rhythms of health and restrictions within the body.
The body likes to be heard and acknowledged on a deep level.
When the body settles deeply, its natural intelligence kicks in to resolve trauma, held or stuck patterns, discharge trapped energy and resolve past injuries. This resolution and balancing can happen on different levels such as emotional and physical.
Biodynamic craniosacral therapy's foundation is based on the understanding that health is always there and never lost. The body has an intelligence and wisdom to heal. Health emerges from stillness.
I’m Harold / Harry, I completed a 2-year Biodynamic Craniosacral practitioner training with Body Intelligence.
What sparked my interest in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy was the resolution of a long-held chest pain after the first treatment, this pain followed me off and on for 15-20 years. I was intrigued, it appeared that the practitioner (Fran) was doing nothing, but the treatment had such a lasting impact on health.
Why Craniotech? I have a background as a mechanical engineer / technician, and the name seemed to fit.
BSCT has its origins in osteopathy and links back to Andrew Taylor Still (1828-1917) the father of Osteopathy. From this origin the essence of this ethos is still present:
The body is the whole; the body continuum merges with everyone's body continuum and penetrates the environment in which one lives; the body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms that are self-healing in nature; the position of a body structure decides its form and function.
One of AT Still's students William Gardner Sutherland (1873–1954) furthered this work and specialised in Osteopathy in the cranial field. He observed patterns of movement within the cranial bones and other structures in the body. One of his most famous sayings is “beveled like the gills of a fish” when he was describing the sphenosquamous sutures of a disassembled skull. With experimentation on himself he confirmed that restrictions in the movement of structures within the body can be linked to health problems. He developed a set of manual techniques to subtly manipulate these restrictions. Later in his career his focus shifted to the animating forces behind this phenomenon. This he named "the breath of life".
Other notable Osteopaths continued this work were Rollin E. Becker (1910-1996) James Jealous DO (1943 - 2021) and more recent teachers which upheld and expanded on the biodynamic paradigm are Franklin Sills, Michael Kearn & Michael Shea.
