CranioSacral Therapy I

Cranio-sacral therapy is a gentle yet very effective soft tissue therapeutic modality that is appropriate for any age patient. You will learn how to perform a patient assessment that would include the musculo-skeletal system, the body diaphragms, and the cranio-sacral rhythm and cranial membranes, as well as recognize the patterns of restriction. Techniques of joint unwinding and direction of energy will be used to affect different joints, and release specific muscle groups and myofascial trains. The fascial system and its critical role in health and well-being will be discussed in detail, from the specific to the whole body.

Learn to recognize and assess the cranio-sacral rhythm at various points in the body, and to use it as a diagnostic tool.  Perform a still-point technique and dural tube glide; and explore the role of these techniques in normalizing tensions throughout the body. Additionally, learn about the importance of the various membranes within the cranio-sacral system, including ways to assess restriction within the membrane system, and recognize its implications on general well-being and health.

Seminar includes a combination of lecture, demonstration and hands-on practice. The general public can use the techniques on friends and family members. Healthcare professionals can begin using cranio-sacral techniques in their practice after completing Level I; as well as take all three levels to pursue the optional certification process.  There is also an option to retake this seminar for a reduced fee of $175.
