Cerebrospinal Fluid .

Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear, colourless fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord within the central nervous system. It acts as a protective cushion, providing mechanical support and buoyancy to the brain while also serving to exchange nutrients and remove waste products. CSF is produced in the choroid plexus, a network of blood vessels in the brain's ventricles.

This fluid flows through the ventricles of the brain and around the spinal cord, forming what is known as the cerebrospinal fluid system. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the chemical stability of the nervous system environment and is essential for the overall functioning and protection of the brain and spinal cord. Changes in the composition or flow of cerebrospinal fluid can be associated with various neurological disorders.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) supports the repair and maintenance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through gentle touch and attention to the craniosacral system. By releasing tensions and restrictions in the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, BCST promotes better alignment and balance within the craniosacral system. This, in turn, is believed to create a supportive environment for the body's inherent healing abilities, potentially optimising CSF flow and enhancing the overall functioning of the central nervous system. Furthermore, the therapy's focus on inducing a state of deep relaxation may contribute to a reduction in stress levels, which can positively influence CSF dynamics.
