This product can be purchased from our website at www.CrossCountryEducation.com Hands-on techniques you can apply immediately Evidence-Based Myofascial and Craniosacral Interventions A 3-D Approach to Improve Mobility and Function Course Description An Added Dimension to Restoring Function and Mobility How do you address pain and abnormal tension resulting from stress, trauma, disease, and disability? Add a gentle, fresh dimension to your work by treating the fascial restrictions with Myofascial Release (MFR) and Craniosacral Therapy (CST). This introductory, hands-on, intensive course focuses on the restoration of fascial mobility within the myofascial and craniosacral systems. Participants will review anatomy and function, discuss the latest evidence from the Fascia Research Congress, assess mobility in the 3-D fascial planes, and use compression and distraction to facilitate fascial mobility. Practice gentle introductory craniosacral releases including sacral, frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, and mandibular releases, and craniosacral balancing to promote healthy balance within the fascial system that invests all structures in the body. Special evaluation techniques using general and local listening and craniosacral balancing are introduced to identify and treat abnormal fascial tension patterns. The goal of the educational offering is to promote balanced posture and efficient mobility using direct and indirect myofascial and craniosacral interventions. These gentle techniques can be used across the lifespan to produce positive, functional outcomes and can be applied immediately in practice! Course Director THERESA A.

  • What Is Craniosacral Therapy?
    INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY I –FAS CIAL CONNECTION What is Craniosacral (crane-e-o-sacral) Therapy? What is Craniosacral Therapy? Craniosacral Therapy started in the osteopathic community in the early 1900’s as a way to feel restrictions in the cranial bones and fascia. By freeing the cranial bones and the fascia, the practitioner is able to assist the body in regaining normal function in the nervous, lymph, hormonal, myofascial, and gastrointestinal system. Craniosacral Therapy is a whole person therapy focusing on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Craniosacral therapy is founded on the belief that the body knows exactly how to heal. The role of the physician is to help you heal yourself and facilitate the healing process. The primary goal in a Craniosacral session is to not only treat your condition, but maximize your health overall. What is involved in a Craniosacral Session? Craniosacral therapy is a gentle non-invasive hands-on therapy that follows the subtle movement of your fascia or connective tissue. The physician will lightly place (less than a nickel weight of pressure) his/her hands on areas of restriction that facilitates the body to gently release fixations. During the session the person is fully clothed and the therapist evaluates restrictions in movement from different parts of the body. A session usually lasts one hour but that can vary depending on the condition. What do people usually experience with Craniosacral Therapy? Most people feel very relaxed and some even fall asleep. Many people can feel the movement inside their bodies and describe it like they are floating on water.

  • Anthroposophic Craniosacral Therapy
    Anthroposophic Craniosacral Therapy International Anthroposophic Network for CST 12 co-workers from Europe, UK, USA, Russia and Australia Craniosacral Therapy (CST) - cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Introduction: The last 50 years has seen a growing appreciation of the therapeutic potential of both Cranial Osteopathy (as practiced by Osteopaths) and Craniosacral Therapy (as practiced by non - Osteopaths). There are now a number of branches and streams of this therapeutic bodywork in the world. A good number of anthroposophic physicians and therapists have been drawn to and trained in this work, which is deeply connected to rhythm and the etheric body. This article describes the connection between Anthroposophic Medicine and cranio-sacral theory and practice. History The origin of cranio-sacral research can be traced as far back as 1744, to writings on occult physiology by Emmanuel Swedenborg. In his text “The Brain” Swedenborg describes a “…pulsating spirituous fluid animating the cerebrospinal fluid that in turn animates the entire body”, 1744 So one could say that Craniosacral Therapy (CST) has a root in the traditions of European Christian mysticism. In America the two grandfathers of Osteopathy Dr. Andrew Taylor Still (1828-1917) and William Garner Sutherland (1873-1954) developed the therapeutic forms from which this modern practice has evolved. They were both deeply spiritual men who often spoke of the divine realm in metaphors - ‘the great architect’ and ‘the breath of life’. The movement of the cranial bones was first studied by Sutherland. It is likely that he had read Swedenborg. The work was then developed and held in a small circle emerging out of a spiritual stream of the osteopathic profession around 1930-50.

  • 30 Spa Holidays for a Happier, Healthier New Year
    30 spa holidays for a happier, healthier new year Banish that work-from-home back: Four Seasons Resort at Landaa Giraavaru CREDIT: DON RIDDLE IMAGES/DON RIDDLE • Suzanne Duckett, SPA EXPERT 1 JANUARY 2021 • 9:00AM After nearly a year of being grounded, trips taken from here on have to count on so many levels – personally, professionally, psychologically and ecologically. Whether you admit it or not, the enforced slow down and more time spent with yourself, your partner or your family has unearthed some home truths. Lack of routine has led, for many, to comfort eating, sporadic exercise, wine being cracked open most evenings and an increased dependency on digital technology. This will be the year to reset and redress the meaning of “well-travelled” in every sense when the world finally reopens to us. The options to reset, reflect and restore are endless and deeply personal. What floats one person’s boat (fasting and detoxing to lighten the load?) creates a sinking feeling in others (who might prefer a retreat in Mexico to mend a broken heart). Some seek a retreat on their own, others – when rules allow – want to take the whole brood for a reboot. Though the children haven’t left their sight for more than a few school hours during the past year, they have never felt more disconnected from them. Then there are fitness breaks, from Spain to the Caribbean, which may spark a new love of exercise; and retreats ensconced in nature that might just change your life altogether. Wellness travel and traditional travel are not separate; they are one and the same.

Samantha has introduced me to a new way of thinking and living that has enhanced my life. Being trained to understand the natural protective bodily response of trauma, I have an understanding of the very real possibility of post traumatic growth and resiliency. This approach does not manipulate the body, and only a gentle light contact is made with your body. While looking at a disarticulated skull , Sutherland was struck by the idea that the cranial sutures of the temporal bones where they meet the parietal bones were "beveled, like the gills of a fish, indicating articular mobility for a respiratory mechanism.

  • Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
    NOVEMBER 2018 A Monthly Insight into WELLNESS THERAPY Knot’s News Craniosacral Therapy (CST) What is Craniosacral Therapy? Craniosacral Therpy, also called CST, or cranial osteopathy, it is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. As decribed by the Cranial Therapy Center, CST theory and practice is based on understanding the continuous subtle movements of the cranial bones, which result in a rhythm of approximately six to twelve cycles per minute. This rhythm is understood as a response to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fluctuations within the spinal cord and brain environment. The subtle movement extends outward to the entire body, in response to the fluid pressure changes around the Central Nervous System. A therapist gently works with the whole body including the spine and the skull, and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia. By using the hands as fine discriminating tools, Craniosacral therapists are able to detect disturbances in the cranial sacral rhythm to help them identify areas of dysfunction, such as cranial, sutural, membrane and other soft tissue restrictions in the body. Patients remain clothed during a treatment and treatments generally are one hour long. A treatment works in the following ways: Craniosacral Therapy is beneficial for all ages and can help: • Helps restore normal cranial mobility; • Recurrent ear infections; • Releases abnormal myofascial restrictions and • Facial asymmetries and eye

According to acupuncture theory, these acupuncture points lie along meridians along which qi, a kind of vital energy, is said to flow. There is no generally-accepted anatomical or histological basis for these concepts, and modern acupuncturists tend to view them in functional rather than structural terms, (as a useful metaphor in guiding evaluation and care of patients). Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China and is most commonly associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Different types of acupuncture (Classical Chinese, Japanese acupuncture) are practiced and taught throughout the world. Bowen Technique The Bowen Technique is one version of a group of technical interpretations of the work of Australian osteopath Tom Bowen (1916–1982) known as Bowen Therapy, which is a holistic system of healing.
