The Healing Power of Your Hands:
CranioSacral Applications
​for Pediatric Populations

Description
The course is designed to promote understanding of the power of personal touch to heal and to train the participant with specific techniques applicable to the pediatric population. The presentation will explore the use of fascial and craniosacral techniques and discuss how they impact modulation, postural alignment and sensory processing. Through lab experiences, participants will learn ‘hands on’ techniques while getting a boost in their own energy. All techniques taught are usable in clinic and home programs. Applications to the pediatric population and how to integrate these techniques with current practice will be discussed. Presentation of ‘self help’ techniques for healing the healer are included. Dress comfortably for practical experiences and leave with skills that can be put to immediate use.
 
Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
  1. Describe and demonstrate three self-help techniques for clients and therapists.
  2. Apply several practical techniques with the pediatric population.
  3. Discuss the impact of these techniques on posture, modulation, health and sensory processing.​
