CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Stress/Anxiety disorders
BCST is excellent for help with regulating the nervous system. Learning how to monitor your physical response to stress is the first step in self-regulation and is one of the key features of BCST.

Endocrine Disorders
All the body systems have to communicate in an integrated and holistic way. BCST helps promote communication between the nervous system and the endocrine system thereby supporting the optimal function of the endocrine system.

Trauma/Shock/PTSD
Effects of overwhelming experiences can be held in the body and nervous system and when left unresolved can continue to be triggered in stressful situations. BCST is a gentle way to start unraveling trauma affects and gain more control and regulation in stressful situations.

Digestive disorders in children and adults
Poor digestion can be the first sign of stress/anxiety and leads to many more serious issues. BCST can help calm the nervous system and help you develop mindfulness about dietary influences on digestion.

Back Pain, Slipped Disk, Pregnancy Back Pain
The most common reason people seek manual therapy or medical care is for relief from back pain. Whatever stage in life you are, from infancy through adulthood and old age, BCST can safely and effectively help. Whether your back pain stems from acute injury; accidents, injuries, exercise, "slipped disc", extra strain during pregnancy, or chronic aches and pains from repetitive, stress/strain, poor posture, or desk-bound stress, BCST is a fast and effective means to full recovery.

BCST for Children, Infant Colic
Infants and children are also subject to stress and strain, from the birth process on through growth and development. This can have a detrimental effect on their nervous system compromising their ability to;bond, feed, vocalize and fight off colds and flu; early stresses and strains can contribute to digestion and sleep disturbance throughout life. BCST is gentle, safe and effective for infants and children and can help restore the optimum function of the nervous system.

Posture Problems
The posture of the spine depends of the proper balance of the muscles on either side of the spine. If the muscles are weak or too tight, they can distort the spine causing slouching or discomfort when trying to straighten the spine. BCST can support muscular balance around the spine and even long term postural distortions can resolve to improve posture. Svastha Yoga therapy is a powerful form of yoga that can change longstanding postural problems.

Musculoskeletal Pain, Numbness, Leg Pain, Sciatica
A common cause of leg pain or sciatica is nerve irritation the starts at the level of the spine. The muscles attached to the spine become tight and short, compressing the sciatic nerve, this can cause a cascade of issues in the whole length of the nerve, from the piriformis muscle down the leg and all the way into the foot including pain, numbness or weakness. BCST is an effective therapy to relax muscles and ease irritated nerves, relieve pain and restore normal function.

Headaches, Neck Pain
Headaches are commonly caused by muscle tension in the upper back and neck. As the muscles get tight and short they can cause misalignments of the vertebra which can compress the nerves and inhibit proper circulation to the muscles. BCST can restore normal alignment of the vertebra, relieving pressure on the nerves and restoring proper blood flow.

TMJ Disease (Temporal Mandibular Joint Disease)
This common problem is getting more and more widespread due to our stressful lifestyles. Anxiety and stress can result in teeth grinding or bruxism, which leads to muscles of the jaw, neck and upper back becoming tight. short and painful. It can cause a variety of painful and disturbing symptoms including headaches, insomnia, tinnitus, ear pain, tooth pain and sensitivity, difficulty chewing, speaking, and hearing. BCST can be helpful and effective in resolving underlying stress that causes TMJD. It can relieve muscular stress and strain and restore balance in the nervous system. A multi faceted approach including bio/psycho/social factors is needed this complex condition.

Sleep Disorders, Insomnia
Our modern lifestyles are causing an increase of a variety stress/anxiety that lead to sleep disorders. BCST helps to gently balance the nervous system, promote self awareness, and thereby help restore normal sleep cycles.
