Product Description

Instructor: Lauren Christman, LMT, CCST; NCBTMB #450788-08

Securely nested within the cranium, the brain is a delicate structure of keen importance for health. The membranes and bones that protect the brain also become doorways for us to contact the brain through subtle perception and skilled touch. We review the structure of the brain and related structures, as well as dural membranes and cranial base, which provide openings for the 12 cranial nerves.

Learn foundational assessment and treatment methods for the soft tissue of the brain, each of the four ventricles, and each of the cranial nerves. Methods range from indirect enhancement of fluid movement, balancing autonomic function through motility (cranial rhythmic impulse as well as mid-tide), and direct mobilization of neurofascial tissue and bony passages.

Following osteopathic principles, we focus primarily on enhancing health—particularly healthy sleep and breathing patterns, however we will consider certain conditions, particular for concussion, migraines, vertigo and centralized pain. Self-care strategies that enhance neuroplasticity are provided in handouts, and are explored in class as time allows.

Prerequisite: The Craniosacral Introductory Workshop taught by Ursula Popp or Lauren Christman. If you have not taken the Craniosacral Introductory Workshop class, then you should have consistent skill in palpating motility (CRI or mid-tide). Please contact the teacher if you have questions about your readiness for the material: lauren@craftedtouch.com.
