Craniosacral Therapy
CranioSacral for Massage Therapist
Learn how to integrate craniosacral techniques into a full body massage session or for specific musculoskeletal complaints and connect to the on-off stress switch of the human body! Participants learn basic craniosacral theory and hand-on skills including cerebral spinal fluid pulse identification, manipulation of the fascial meninges of the brain and spinal cord, and stillpoint. These techniques will deeply relax massage clients by directly releasing the contractile tissue of the central nervous system. Bring your massage table, sheets and lubricants for a “fast-food” meditative experience!
