Advanced Craniosacral Therapy Training for Pediatrics

I recently took a training for pediatric craniosacral therapy in Palm Beach Gardens , Florida. It was taught by Rebecca Flowers, OTR.,CST-D, an absolute wizard in CST for kids. We. the class of 21 people ,were there for 4 days, learning many interesting and advanced techniques designed for children but applicable to adults in many cases. It is always so exciting to go to those classes as one meets such interesting people as well as learning new and more subtle ways to get the work done.

CST with children is so wonderful because we get the dysfunction resolved early in life and enable the person "who's a person, no matter how small", to paraphrase Dr. Seuss, to have a healthy life, free from a myriad of problems. These problems can such things as torticollis, misshapen heads, colic (for little babies while for older souls it can become IBS) and learning disabilities to name a few.

My room-mate for the 4 days was Jackie Hand, a Laban/Bartenieff-New York City faculty member who will be coming to Saratoga this summer to teach a short class on fascia in this somatic discipline, pending approval. It will be a wonderfully enriching way to learn about fascia, one of the principal elements in CST, from a movement perspective. Personal history, beliefs and feelings appear in movement;....(one can) address holding and release of tissues..." by use of this technique. Quote is from the Laban/Bartenieff website.
