WHAT IS CRANIO-SACRAL REFLEXOLOGY?

Cranio sacral is the name given to the approach to osteopathy developed by Dr Sutherland 100 years ago. He saw how the bone structure of the skull permitted slight motion and noted that restriction of normal motion due to injury, trauma or disease could affect health. The cranial osteopath works gently with the bones in the skull and associated bodily systems to remedy such conditions. The Reflexologist can achieve the same result by combining an understanding of cranio-sacral therapy with conventional reflexology, since the bones of the feet reflect the skull and sacrum exactly.

The body’s inner health is perceived through a gentle pulse called the CSRI. It arises at the core of the body within the brain and spinal cord and the fluid, which surrounds them. It is a tide-like rhythm, which expresses itself throughout all of the body. Areas of congestion and restriction in function of any part of the body can be felt as an imbalance in its motion and treated.

A reflexologist has a highly developed sense of palpation and is trained to detect and assess the dynamic state of the body tissues; both within the feet and the rest of the body. By using the gentle techniques of Cranio-Sacral Reflexology,  the practitioner is able to release the strain patterns found and support the body in its attempt to return to an ideal state of balance and function for healing to progress.

Training in Cranio - Sacral Reflexology

The Cranio - Sacral Reflexology Institute was established to teach and promote the technique of Cranio - Sacral Reflexology.

Cranio-Sacral Reflexology course is taught by Dr. Martine Faure Alderson. She is a fully qualified Osteopath with 40 years experience in private practice. In addition, in 1970,  Dr. Alderson was awarded a Doctorate in Homeopathy and General Medicine. She is also qualified in Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and Reflexology. She has a school in Paris and has taught Postgraduate students of reflexology since 1968.  She holds her seminars throughout Europe and teaches in America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

"I am please to offer an unique clinical reflexology course on the cranial-sacral system. This course enables the reflexologist to enhance the circulation in the head and the cranial organs through treatment of the feet. The cerebro spinal fluid (CSF) is treated, stimulated and transported to all parts of the body and the 12 cranial nerves are treated individually, following a special technique via the autonomic nervous system. These techniques are also extremely useful to help stress and whiplash injuries and can be added at the end of a conventional treatment."

All seminars comprise a balance of theory and practical sessions:

Basic contents:

Introduction, Embryology/CNS/Automatic Nervous System, Cranial Movement/Membranes/Lesions of CRI, CSF Fluid, General Cranio Sacral Treatment, The Cranial Nerves.
