BCST supports nervous system regulation and allows the resolution of conditions resulting from these stresses and traumas in the emotional and physical body by releasing membranous strains and restrictions in the bones, soft tissues, joints and organs as well as the deeper connective tissues of the body – the fascia, connective tissues and the fluids. BCST may help reduce congestion, ischemia (lack of blood to a local part) oedema and swelling.

We normally relate to our musculoskeletal system as comprising bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments but on a much deeper level are the membranes which hold us together and upright. There are 3 layers of these membranes (called fascia) under our skin which organise, surround, support and separate our brain, spinal cord , bones, muscles, organs, nerves and blood vessels. (It’s a bit like a stocking). The fascia stores 23% of our body’s water and is also directly related to the body’s main fluid systems -the blood, lymph and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

The movement of the CSF creates a subtle rhythmic impulse in the tissues which can be felt by a trained therapist. They are then able to detect disturbances in this rhythm to help them identify areas of dysfunction in your body.

Sessions vary in length from 45 to 90 minutes. You remain fully clothed lying face up on a treatment table while the therapist uses a light non-invasive touch with one or both hands. Your therapist may work with your spine, skull, sinuses, diaphragms, organs and fascia and the joints or muscles of your limbs, depending on your complaint.

Sessions are resourcing -both the body and mind feel extremely rested after a session.
