New Amsterdam Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy to be featured on Close-Up Talk Radio

Brooklyn, NY -- While allopathic medicine often views the human body in terms of systems and components, health doesn’t exist in isolation. According to craniosacral therapist Tom Bertels, we can benefit from a more holistic understanding of the way the human body operates.

Bertels is a founding partner of New Amsterdam Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, a practice dedicated to addressing the underlying issues that affect our overall health. A licensed massage therapist, Bertels has spent his entire career specializing in various somatic therapies, holistically oriented therapies that seek to integrate the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects of our body via the body.

“It’s the difference between a mechanical view of the body and an energetic view of the body,” explains Bertels, “The body holds conditions and patterns as a result of physical or emotional injury, but it also holds the key to resolve many of these conditions.”

There’s an inherent health to the body that’s being expressed all the time, stabilizing and organizing the body’s energies. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy works with the existing health of the body to address physical and emotional injury by aligning these organizing forces.

In session, a craniosacral therapist “listens” to this inherent health through the expressions and fluctuations of cerebral spinal fluid in much the same way one might listen to a pulse. The ebb and flow of this fluid is considered the primary respiration of the body, preceding the secondary respiration of breathing. By working with the body’s inherent health and its organizing forces, balance can be restored and symptoms alleviated.

“It’s easy to get someone on the table,” says Bertels. “The significance is: what do they feel like after they get off the table? What do they feel like the following week? And how do they feel about themselves?

Indeed, chronic conditions can come to define a person’s life. Restoring the body’s sense of balance requires that we open our mind to the intention and the possibility of change.

“People are going to learn a lot more about themselves going through this process,” says Bertels. “We may address a particular complaint, but we treat the whole system by listening to the intelligence in the body, which is smarter than either you or me. Our job is to align with it, and let it do the work. That is the biodynamic way. As a result, clients feel more integrated, balanced and regulated.”

Close-Up Talk Radio will feature Tom Bertels in an interview with Doug Llewelyn on June 7th at 11am EST and with Jim Masters on June 14th at 11am EST.
