Description

CranioSacral Therapy 2 (CS2) greatly expands the structural, energetic, and personal work learned in CS1. You’ll discover new ways to become a more mindful practitioner, as you continue to refine your palpation skills and therapeutic presence. CS2 completes basic biomechanical Upledger CST training with hands-on techniques focusing on complex cranial base dysfunctions, the boney structures of the face, the masticatory system and hard palate.

Your training continues with advanced work in seeking out and treating Energy Cysts, Facilitated Segments, and additional fascial restrictions. The course culminates in an effective Whole-Body Evaluation, which helps you assess a client for specific, present-moment dysfunctions and a process for “treating what you find.”

CS2 also includes short lectures on working with pediatric populations, the Triune Brain model as an introduction to whole-brain integration, and SomatoEmotional Release® as an introduction to mind-body integration.
