An introduction to CranioSacral
Therapy

A 2-day workshop teaching
basic level CST

Open to all interested adults

Next workshops: Saturday and Sunday, 17th -18th November 2007 Venue : NORWICH, Norfolk

For the layperson, the workshop will provide a starter kit of simple but very useful techniques for home use in many routine health situations as possible alternatives to medication. For the healthcare practitioner or student who may be thinking about professional training, this workshop is an ideal taster and confidence builder.

For everyone this workshop provides a fascinating and enjoyable weekend, and what could be a personal turning point. Practical work is demonstrated and taught in simple units along with associated body energy work. The theoretical basis for each unit is presented clearly and entertainingly.

CranioSacral Therapy was originated, and continues to be developed after 26 years, by American Osteopathic Physician Dr John E. Upledger DO, OMM, who has taken the work of Dr W. G. Sutherland, discoverer of cranial osteopathy, researched it with the help of other scientists, and developed from it a system of whole-person therapy which is safely learned and applied by practitioners having sensitivity of touch and good intention.
