How Cranial-Sacral Therapy affects Anxiety and Stress


How Cranial-Sacral Therapy affects Anxiety and Stress

It’s been a stressful time for many people ever since the coronavirus pandemic began. Stressful for your clients, stressful for your family, and perhaps stressful for you, too. We definitely experienced our share of stress in my household this past year.

One of the things I love about Cranial-Sacral Therapy (CST) is that it helps alleviate stress and anxiety. Dramatically! I’ll be doing a full CST training twice this year, and we already have several registrations. The first class is here – click to find out more and to register:
August 20-22 in Fayetteville
– The second class is in Hot Springs later in the Fall

In this training, you’ll learn how to use CST in two ways:
– Do a complete step-by-step CST protocol session with your client
– Or easily blend CST techniques with the tools you already use

I personally have used CST successfully in over 20,000 bodywork sessions over many years. I’ve used it with athletes, stay-at-home caregivers, office workers, construction workers, children, elderly, people with back problems, headaches, migraines, TMJ, and so much more.

I’ve taught hundreds of MTs (and PTs and OTs) how to use CST in their practices. And I’ve received hundreds of messages and reviews describing amazing results from using these gentle techniques with their clients.

One of the most common benefits that I’ve experienced and that I hear from others about CST is how much it reduces anxiety, stress, and depression. It helps to know, too, that there is scientific research showing that CST reduces anxiety – as in this study on fibromyalgia patients, published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

The researchers concluded that using CST “contributes to improving anxiety and quality of life levels in these patients.” And we can all use a better quality of life. Yes?

One cool benefit that I and many students of mine have experienced is that not only did our clients feel a reduction in anxiety and stress, but WE did, too! Just by practicing these techniques on our clients! How cool is that!

As with all my classes, the earlier you register the lower the cost. And if you want to retake a class that you’ve already had with me – either online or in-person – you are eligible for a further discount in addition to the early registration price.

These are real tools that you can use – right away in your practice. I’ve taught hundreds of therapists how to successfully incorporate Cranial-Sacral Therapy and Direct-Indirect Technique into their practice and help thousands of clients. The classes are very hands-on and very practical.

Stay well, stay safe, and stay in touch,
