Introduction to CranioSacral Therapy for Sensory Processing Disorders

Course overview

This class is designed to help the massage therapist to recognize and then better understand their clients who have sensory processing problems. People with Sensory Integration (SI) problems may have a hard time tolerating your touch, sitting on your table and therefore be unable to tolerate a session. This class is to help you recognize these clients, then give you some Craniosacral strategies you might be able to use so that your client can tolerate touch and can lay on the table for a session. This one day seminar will provide information on how Craniosacral therapy, a gentle hands on approach, can address structural issues that negativity impact the sensory systems. CranioSacral Therapy, developed by John E. Upledger, DO, OMM, is noninvasive in nature, it is relatively easy to administer and has virtually no negative side effects. Our speaker will provide a thorough explanation of what Craniosacral therapy is, what sensory processing disorder is, how both systems work, and why it can be useful to Sensory Processing Disorder clients to receive CST and massage. To complement the lecture, demonstrations, and hands on practice of Craniosacral therapy will be included. With fellow participants, you will practice palpating the Craniosacral rhythm and completing a stillpoint.
