Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy – Women’s Body

What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?

This therapy is based on exceptionally gentle, precise touch, working with key structures of the body such as the skull, spine, pelvis, and diaphragm area. Rather than forceful correction, the goal is to create optimal conditions for the body’s innate capacity for self-regulation and healing.

In the women-focused approach, the work gently supports areas connected to the body’s core regulatory axes, which influence essential physiological processes:

• HPA Axis – related to the stress response and adrenal function.
• HPT Axis – connected to thyroid function and metabolism.
• HPO Axis – involving the ovaries, menstrual cycle, and fertility.

Important note: This therapy is supportive in nature. It is not a medical treatment for hormonal disorders, but rather a method of nervous system regeneration, which may indirectly support overall well-being and balance throughout the body.

Who is this Therapy for?

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is recommended as part of a holistic approach to women’s health, especially for those experiencing:

• Chronic stress and sensory overload
• Tension related to the menstrual cycle, including PMS or menstrual discomfort
• Sleep disturbances, persistent fatigue, and difficulty with recovery
• The need for support during the perimenopausal transition
• Health challenges such as PCOS or endometriosis (as a complement to standard medical care)

What does a Session look like?

Each session lasts approximately 50 minutes and takes place in a calm, soothing environment.

• Comfort: The session is conducted in a lying position. Clients remain fully clothed (comfortable, non-restrictive clothing is recommended).
• Touch: The therapist uses gentle, non-invasive techniques without force or sudden movements, responding attentively to the body’s signals.
• Sensations: Many clients experience deep relaxation, warmth, slower breathing, and a profound sense of calm—though experiences may vary individually.
• Communication: There is no need to share personal experiences unless desired; the level of conversation is entirely guided by the client’s comfort.

Safety and Contraindications

Although this therapy is gentle, certain contraindications apply, including:

• Recent injuries or surgeries involving the head or spine
• Acute infections or high fever
• Recent stroke, aneurysm, or intracranial hemorrhage
• Active thrombotic conditions
• Certain cancers in an active phase (medical consultation required)
• Pregnancy – suitability must be discussed with both a physician and therapist

If you are undergoing specialized medical treatment (e.g., oncological or endocrinological care) or have any doubts, consultation with your healthcare provider is recommended prior to the session.

Practical Information

• Preparation: Avoid heavy meals before the session. Prior to your first visit, the therapist may conduct a brief health consultation.
• Frequency: The number of sessions is individually tailored based on your needs and the body’s response. Some clients notice improvements, such as better sleep or deeper relaxation, after just a few sessions.

You may think of this therapy as the fine tuning of an instrument. Under the pressures of stress and everyday life, the female body can lose its natural rhythm—becoming dysregulated within the HPA, HPT, and HPO axes.
The therapist does not replace strings or rebuild the instrument, but through subtle, mindful touch, helps the nervous system return to its natural, harmonious “tone,” supporting regeneration and balance throughout the entire body.
