What Is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that considers the whole person, including the relationships between physical structure, nervous system activity, and our experience of ourselves and the world around us.
Through light, attentive contact, the practitioner listens to subtle patterns of movement, tension, and responsiveness within the body. The work unfolds through an ongoing relationship between practitioner and client, with attention to what is happening in the present moment.
Our bodies continually adapt to the circumstances of our lives. Injury, stress, physical demands, and previous experiences can influence how we organize ourselves, how we respond to our surroundings, and how comfortable we feel in our bodies.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy offers a setting in which these patterns can be approached with sensitivity and curiosity. The pace is unhurried, allowing space for rest, greater awareness, and changes in how the body is experienced.
Each session is individual. Some people notice shifts in physical tension, comfort, or bodily awareness, while others experience the work primarily as an opportunity for deep rest. There is no particular response that needs to occur.
Working With the Whole Person
People seek craniosacral therapy for many reasons, from persistent physical discomfort and injury histories to stress, nervous system overwhelm, and a desire for greater rest and well-being.
Head, Neck & Jaw
Headaches, migraines, TMJ concerns, jaw tension, and persistent neck or shoulder discomfort.
Spine & Chronic Pain
Back discomfort, spinal tension, longstanding pain patterns, and difficulties finding physical comfort.
Concussion, Whiplash & Injury
Gentle, individualized bodywork for people navigating concussion histories, whiplash, and lingering physical sensitivities following injury. Sessions are adapted to each person’s comfort and needs.
Stress & Nervous System Regulation
Persistent stress, difficulty settling, heightened sensitivity, and experiences of nervous system overwhelm.
Trauma & Embodiment
A sensitive, collaborative environment for exploring bodily experience, patterns of protection, and one’s relationship to comfort and safety.
Rest & Well-Being
An opportunity to slow down, experience the body differently, and explore greater ease, awareness, and connection.
For those coming following an injury, sessions are adapted to your history, current symptoms, and comfort. Craniosacral work can complement medical care and rehabilitation, with attention to any relevant precautions or recommendations from your care team.
What to Expect
Sessions begin with a conversation about what brings you in, your relevant history, and anything you would like me to know about your current experience.
The hands-on work generally takes place with you fully clothed, resting comfortably on a treatment table. Touch is gentle, and we can adjust positioning, contact, and pacing according to your comfort and needs.
Throughout the session, I pay attention to subtle changes in tension, movement, responsiveness, and the overall quality of your experience. There is room for conversation, quiet, and whatever feels appropriate as the work unfolds.
Some people notice a deepening sense of rest, changes in physical tension, or increased awareness of their bodies. Others experience very little that they can clearly identify during the session.
There is no need to relax in a particular way or try to make something happen. Your experience helps guide the process.

Andrew Rosenstock, RCST®, RSMT, Certified Rolfer®
For nearly two decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of hands-on bodywork, movement education, and somatic approaches to health and well-being.
My background includes Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Rolfing Structural Integration, Rolf Movement, somatic movement therapy, and yoga therapy. These disciplines have informed my understanding of how physical structure, movement, perception, and nervous system activity continually influence one another.
I work with people experiencing a wide range of physical concerns, including chronic pain, spinal discomfort, headaches, TMJ difficulties, and histories of concussion and whiplash. My broader training allows me to approach these concerns with an appreciation for both their physical complexity and the ways our experiences influence how we inhabit our bodies.
Central to my work is careful listening, relational sensitivity, and respect for each person’s individual experience. I’m particularly interested in how patterns of tension and protection develop and how our relationship to these patterns may change through attentive touch and greater bodily awareness.
After many years practicing and teaching internationally, I now offer sessions in Cambridge and Boston.
