Do I need a massage or BCST?

The benefits of massage therapy are quite well known these days and extremely well studied. Biodynamic craniosacral therapy (BCST) is much trickier to establish in a study as causes to complaints (like say, back pain) can vary so drastically from one individual to the next. What we do know is that BCST works on a much deeper level and with entities we can't even see. Some structures like fascia and the organs we can't see but we know what they look like but other "things" like the healing process, we cannot see nor can we alter it because it is innate and is guided by a force we cannot quantify with a measurement. Here is a little chart to help you decipher what massage therapy (MT) and craniosacral therapy (BCST) can be used for:

 Testimonials:

Since visiting Stacey I have experienced a great relief of my chronic back pain. I am impressed with her professionalism and the overall comfort I experience in her care. -Dean

Stacey offers a calm presence, empathic listening, and an invitation to deeper awareness of what’s going on in our bodies. Her treatments leave me feeling calmer and more grounded, and have helped me to manage symptoms of anxiety and post-traumatic stress. I recommend her services both as a tool for reducing stress in the immediate and to address longer term health conditions. ​-Sarah

With having consistent BCST treatment, I have noticed many improvements. I feel less fuzzy-headed, much less pain and way less anxiety on a daily basis. Along with this, I have better sleep and an improved appetite. I feel my body slowly making its way into a better balance with increased wellness and overall disposition. Modern medicine did not meet my needs in this respect so I am ever grateful for the help Stacey continues to share with me. -Greg 

I was surprised at my first appointment to find that Biodynamic Cranial Sacral is quite a bit different from regular Cranial Sacral therapy. After several appointments over the past two years, I have found Stacey to be very perceptive and effective in her work. I’ve also enjoyed great massages. -Carole
Stacey works out of Penticton, BC and is happy to treat any age of person or condition. Massage therapy has many benefits and the scope of biodynamic craniosacral therapy is endless so call or email today to book an appointment or ask questions. Hours vary by the season but she is in the clinic 4 days a week. Albertans are welcome and can be provided with an insurance receipt. Stacey is not a BC registered massage therapist but can certainly get you in while you wait!  
With ease,
