Cranial-sacral therapy is a gentle technique that uses a light non-invasive approach to
problems of pain and dysfunction. Natural physiological activities of the body
are facilitated
to achieve significant corrective changes in the recipient.
Subtle body movements which
coincide with rhythmical changes in cerebrospinal
fluid pressure are palpated and facilitated,
which results in improved
functioning of the nervous system, relaxation of traumatized
tissues throughout
the body, better structural alignment of the skeletal system, and the
release
of restrictions resulting from accumulated trauma.
The therapeutic purpose of cranial sacral therapy is to aid the body toward
regaining normal cranial sacral motion, which is associated with and necessary
for a truly healthy state. It
has been used successfully with many health
problems, such as headaches, chronic fatigue,
TMJ disorders, fibromyalgia-type
symptoms, and neck and back pain. It is often used as a preventive health
measure, mainly because of its capacity to relieve stress and induce deep
relaxation.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Understand the anatomy/physiology of
the cranial-sacral system.
Learn the whole body flexion-extension
motion pattern of the cranial-sacral system.
Develop palpatory skills for the
detection and evaluation of the cranial-sacral system.
Learn a practical sequence for removal
of impediments to a properly functioning
cranial-sacral system.
Develop full body facilitation skills
using light-touch, soft tissue techniques.
Learn release techniques and
indications for removing restrictions from the cranial-sacral
system.
Be able to recognize the various
contra-indications and know how to respond to them in the therapeutic setting.
Learn
to integrate these skills with other therapeutic modalities.
