People have been asking me to teach a general Craniosacral Therapy class for treating adults, not focused on any particular population. This is the class. The skills learned in this class may be combined with what you already know and do or may be used as an effective stand-alone healing practice.
Prerequisites: Subtle Hands-On Skills is the required prerequisite for this class. This requirement will be waved if you have already taken a CST class with Carol Gray. Students should be licensed, certified or student health professionals (CNM, CPM, DC, DO, IBCLC, LAc, LDEM, LM, LMT, MD, ND, NP, OT, PT, RN, etc.) or otherwise legally entitled to practice touch therapy or with instructor approval.
While not required, students are encouraged to receive at least one craniosacral therapy treatment prior to taking this class.
Overview:
In this three-day class we will learn basic assessment and treatment techniques. We will apply those techniques to restore balance in the Craniosacral System. This class includes lectures, demonstrations and lots of hands-on. In order to maximize learning success class enrollment is limited to six students. In this class you will NOT learn and memorize a recipe-driven treatment protocol. You will learn how to determine when to treat, where to treat and how to treat. You will also learn how to determine when a treatment is complete.
By the end of this three-day class you should be able to:
Describe the historical and theoretical foundations of the work
Describe and palpate the anatomical components of the Craniosacral System
Palpate the Craniosacral Rhythm
Monitor the Craniosacral Rhythm and employ other assessment tools to determine a treatment plan
Use gentle release techniques to facilitate mobility and restore balance in the Craniosacral System
List signs of release
List clinical considerations
Work from your heart
Provide effective, healing CST treatments for adults
