Craniosacral Therapy

 

Duties and Responsibilities:

          Craniosacral therapy is based on the work of an American osteopath, Dr William Garner Sutherland, who developed a new approach to osteopathy known as the ‘Cranial Concept’ in the early 1900s. He discovered that the skull’s bones and the fluids which surround the brain have intrinsic movements. Their natural pulsations reveal different rhythms and energy processes which influence the whole body and our health. They can become restricted or inhibited in case of trauma, stresses and strains.

Salary:

$67,000

Education:

The courses can last 1 or 2 years or more, depending on their format:College of Craniosacral Therapy. Craniosacral Therapy Educational Trust. Institute of Craniosacral Studies. Resonance Trainings.

Reflection:

           I don’t think I would like to be a Cranioscaral Therapist because it doesn’t seem like a type of job I would like to peruse. Also I think it wouldn’t be a exciting job to do.
