CST for the Pelvis

June 12-14, 2024 – four openings

CST for the Pelvis Class Description:
This is the next step after CST – Beyond The Basics. It’s a specialized Craniosacral Therapy class for people who want more advanced tools for treating both male and female-bodied adults. The skills taught in this class are all external techniques done with clients fully-clothed. The goal is to help students gain more technical skills with a special focus on the pelvic bones, the associated musculature, soft tissues, organs and the pelvic floor.

Prerequisites:
Subtle Hands-On Skills, CST – The Basics and CST – Beyond The Basics with Carol Gray are the prerequisites for this class. These classes must be taken in sequence.

In addition, students must be licensed, certified or student health professionals (CMT, CNM, CPM, DC, DDS, DO, IBCLC, LAc, LDEM, LM, LMT, MD, ND, NP, OT, PA, PT, RN, SLP, etc.) or otherwise legally entitled to practice touch therapy. Students may also register if they have instructor approval. Ask me.

Overview:
In this three-day class we will learn how to apply and refine the basic assessment and treatment tools learned in the earlier classes with a particular focus on the pelvis. This will include a mini-review of material presented in the earlier classes.

We will learn how to detect dysfunction and restore balance in the bony pelvis, pelvic musculature, pelvic soft tissue, pelvic organs and the pelvic floor. This class includes lectures, demonstrations and lots of hands-on practice. You will learn how to palpate, evaluate and treat the anatomical components of these structures if your assessment leads you there. In order to maximize learning success, class enrollment is limited to eight students.
