Cranial Sacral Therapy

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy:

The craniosacral system is made up of the membranes and cerebral spinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Craniosacral therapy is a light touch approach that replaces tension + restriction with ease + rhythmic mobility in the central nervous system and all that it comprises. This modality uses gentle touch, starting with about the weight of a nickel, to examine your internal environment and release any restrictions found. By freeing the central nervous system the body is able to reorient to balance and transmute pain and stress into health and ease. This strengthens your resistance to disease and enhances your health and well-being. You remain fully clothed as you relax on a heated and padded table. Kayla will massage warm oil on the feet and face to activate the healing capabilities of the Vagus nerve and Social Nervous System. She’ll incorporate sound with crystal and Tibetan bowls to stimulate the rhythmic connection between our electromagnetic field and the Earth’s.

Difference Between Biodynamic and Upledger Craniosacral Therapies:

Biodynamic is a yin form of healing while Upledger would be considered yang within the Craniosacral fields. There is a force that brings potency to our cells every second and directs them to work in rhythm with each other to maintain health and longevity. Biodynamic works as a bridge between that energy force and our physical body. During a session the therapist will magnify the natural energetic force that directs our cells to function at the bioelectric level. This process supports the system’s health on a microcellular level including the telomeres, and the way we interact with ourselves and others. In Biodynamics, a core principle is to listen and respond to the treatment priorities led by the client’s own natural tendencies and capacities to find wellness. Upledger practitioners will follow the steps laid out by Upledger and apply more pressure and manipulations on the client’s body without following the body’s guidance. It is a more rigid structural form of work, while Biodynamic is magnifying and moves in rhythm with the force that directs the cells.
