This level of training demonstrates how Cranio sacral techniques are utilized and integrated with gentle effective techniques to release or align scar tissue restrictions, thus assisting patient self-correction. Students learning to palpate the underlying restrictions affecting the cranio sacral system. The scope of practice is defined to prior therapist certifications and is specific to the adult population.

Scar tissue often is not given the proper amount of remediation. During cranio sacral technique application patients may feel restrictions or have referred pain but do not remember injuries or understand how scar tissue impacts them long term. Somatic emotional release (SER) may assist resolution of the emotional load in trauma; however, does not remediate the deforming integrity of scar tissue. 

Students will learn the various types of scars and their classifications. They will also understand underlying muscular tension and forces which contribute to the development of hypertrophic and keloid scar tissue.

This class will instruct students of CST how to address common scar tissue patterns associated with surgery and other scar tissue types, burns, fibrosis etc. They will be informed about contraindications, cautions and considerations of working with scar
tissue.

Session outcomes relieve pain, stress and increase parasympathetic tone. Students learn to partner with patients to administer gentle touch technique. Patient self-care techniques are discussed.
