Biodynamic Craniosacral Bodywork
Craniosacral bodywork, sometimes generally called craniosacral therapy, is a form of subtle touch healing. At core this craniosacral practice holds similarities with healing found in many traditional cultures. Named "craniosacral," the practice can be traced to the life's work of Dr. William Garner Sutherland. Sutherland was an osteopath active from the early to mid-1900's. Initiation was limited to trained doctors. By the 1960's craniosacral work became available to non-medical specialists. And today, most practitioners practice from the western medicine paradigm of symptom, diagnosis and treatment. But as Sutherland discovered in the last phase of his career, there was a unique subtle and highly potent energy somehow released when practitioners are able to entirely let go of any intention within the course of a session. This is the biodynamic of the BCA style.

All Taiwan BCA practitioners have been trained with Giorgia Milne. Giorgia was introduced to craniosacral work in 1989 while deeply involved in the western medicine context. She has since developed deep and extensive connection with the range of craniosacral transmissions, personally settling into the pure potency of non-interferent biodynamic craniosacral. Studio Tainan is proud to have hosted workshops with Giorgia in Taiwan since 2012 and work with her organizations since 2001.
QCT is an entry level practice of stillness touch. It offers on-hand distress-relief suitable for practice on family and friends by any interested person.
The morning before I saw MrWu for a "routine" massage and he told me he was doing something a little different and very deep and so be prepared to be surprised. Mid-afternoon I started getting an ankle sprain with no memory of any twist of any kind. Dimi was with me. Soon I became unable to walk, trying to figure out what to do. She took me on her scooter to a Chinese medicine doctor who said it's an extreme sprain and I can expect a few weeks of recovery, but isn't it odd that you have no sense of how it happened.
I stayed in 5-2 that night unable to move the ankle even a little bit without pain.
I called for Paola's assistance and made an after-hours request of MrWu to see me the next morning. Here's the visual story.
