“To be Heard is to be Healed”

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a non-invasive method of manual therapy. The therapist uses their hands with a very gentle touch to detect restrictions or blockages that may exist in a person’s body. Through this conscious touch, the inherent mechanisms of self-healing that exist within each person’s system are also activated. CranioSacral therapy gives us multiple benefits, helping to release physical and emotional dysfunctions. 

Can be beneficial in treating central nervous system injuries, craniofacial pain, migraines, fatigue and stress, motor incoordination, chronic neck and back pain, scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, herniated disc, bruxism and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunctions, learning disorders, Post-traumatic and emotional stress, autism and conduct disorders, and insomnia.

It is recommended as a preventable treatment as it improves the immune system and provides greater energy, sleep quality, as well as physical, emotional, and mental balance.

La terapia craneosacral es un método no invasivo de terapia manual. El terapeuta utiliza sus manos con un toque muy suave para detectar restricciones o bloqueos que puedan existir en el cuerpo de una persona. A través de este toque consciente, también se activan los mecanismos inherentes de autocuración que existen dentro del sistema de cada persona. Entrar en este campo es entrar en contacto con un paradigma que cree en las capacidades inherentes de autocuración dentro de nuestro organismo.

En esta capacitación intensiva de tres días, que abarca tanto la teoría como la práctica, exploraremos la historia de la terapia craneosacral, cómo se ha desarrollado este método a lo largo del tiempo hasta la actualidad y los beneficios de recibir un tratamiento craneosacro. Aprenderemos sobre la anatomía y fisiología del sistema craneosacro, su estructura y funciones. También aprenderemos sobre el principio fundamental del Movimiento Respiratorio Primario (PRM) y el Aliento de Vida.

La terapia craneosacral nos aporta múltiples beneficios, ayudando a liberar disfunciones físicas y emocionales. Este curso es ideal para practicantes de yoga, trabajadores corporales, terapeutas manuales, estudiantes de somática y más. En este curso los participantes aprenderán varias técnicas de escucha y un protocolo básico de tratamiento. Al final de nuestro tiempo juntos, podrá realizar una sesión craneosacral básica o integrar piezas en una sesión de terapia manual preexistente. Todos recibirán un manual con información teórica, fotos y descripción de la técnica, así como un certificado de finalización por completar todo el curso.

Este curso se impartirá tanto en español como en inglés.
