CranioSacral Therapy for Longevity: Reversal of the Aging Process
Prerequisite: SomatoEmotional Release 1 (SER1) or CranioSacral Therapy Touching The Brain 1: Stimulating Self-Correction Through The Glial Interface (CTTB1)
CranioSacral Therapy for Longevity: Reversal of the Aging Process (CSLRAP)
Prerequisite: SER1 or CTTB1
CranioSacral Therapy and Longevity: Reversal of the Aging Process (CSLRAP) is designed to train advanced practitioners of CST in the evaluation, treatment and support of the entire range of the mid to late age adult population, from 60-100+ years of age. Using the basic techniques of CST and introducing the concepts of dialoguing and imaging, students will gain an appreciation of how the craniosacral rhythm and other system indicators inform us about chronological and biological age-and how to use this information to maintain and support a high quality of life over an extended period of time. At the same time, students will gain a deeper understanding of Dr. Upledger’s pioneering work in inflammatory processes and mechanisms of immune system dysfunction, so that they may treat a greater range of clients who display the pathologies we describe as the diseases of aging. Finally, the class also examines the proposed mechanism that leads to dementia and Alzheimer’s, as a reflection of a groundbreaking study suggested and conceived by the author, and coordinated and conducted by a research team including Laura Hart, Linda Gerdner et al, and published in the American Journal of Gerontological Nursing in 2008. Students interested in specializing in the growing field of Geriatrics and quality of life extension will use this class as a launching point to create specialized applications for their own practice-both as individual therapists and in cooperation with others.
