Cranio-Sacral Therapy works with the bones and linings of the cranium and spinal cord to restore balanced development and distribution of cerebral-spinal fluid. This program will provide students with an understanding of the structure and functions of the craniosacral system and include demonstrations and hands-on experience. Students will also learn how to:
perform non-force adjustments to the cranial bones;
relieve chronic pain patterns caused by cranial restrictions;
develop appropriate treatment strategies; and
incorporate this powerful tool into your massage therapy practice.
