INTRODUCTION TO CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Here is your opportunity to sample The Upledger Institute’s CranioSacral Therapy I (CST) workshop studied by more than 50,000 healthcare practitioners worldwide. This twelve-hour program is a mix of lecture, demonstration and hands-on practice designed to teach you the benefits of CST along with some basic techniques you can use in practice and for your own health.
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of the craniosacral system the physiological body system comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Developed by John E. Upledger, DO, OMM, CranioSacral Therapy enhances the body’s natural healing processes to improve the operation of the central nervous system, dissipate the negative effects of stress, enhance health and strengthen resistance to disease.
Among the medical conditions for which CranioSacral Therapy has shown to be effective are:
• Migraine Headaches
• Chronic Neck and Back Pain
• Motor-Coordination Impairments
• Central Nervous System Disorders
• Orthopedic Problems
• Scoliosis
• Infantile Disorders
• Autism

SHARE CARE WORKSHOP
One of the goals of The Upledger Institute is to teach people that they play the most active role in their own health. Because many have surrendered their healing potential to advanced technology, we offer Share Care to help them develop an appreciation for their own abilities to heal.
Share Care has been specifically designed by Dr. John E. Upledger for persons with no prior knowledge of anatomy or physiology. Dr. Upledger is the osteopathic physician who led the research team to establish the scientific basis for a craniosacral system. He has shown how the system could be used to diagnose and treat misunderstood malfunctions involving the brain, spinal cord, and a myriad of other health problems such as chronic pain and lowered vitality, recurring infections, etc.
Workshop participants with no background in this area can learn about the craniosacral system and its influence on their overall health. Presenters, trained by The Upledger Institute, will introduce a few simple techniques: palpation of the craniosacral rhythm, the CV-4 self-help technique, the still point, the V-spread and TMJ decompression. These techniques were designed to relieve headaches, reduce stress, control pain, promote relaxation, and to lead participants to a greater understanding of their role in their own health. These workshops provide a medium in which people may come to realize their natural healing.
