Craniosacral Reflexology (CSR)
Founder: Dr Martine Faure Alderson
CranioSacral Reflexology (CSR) balances the energy between the feet and the head. In doing so, we can achieve homeostasis in the person receiving, thus effectively addressing a large variety of system dysfunctions. By assessing the body, mind and spirit as well as the primary respiratory mechanisms, and by working on the three levels of man, we can help renew the patient’s energy. In doing so, we can achieve homeostasis in the person receiving, thus effectively addressing a large variety of system dysfunctions.
Students learn to read and interpret the Cranio-Sacral Fluid (CSF) & Rhythm and appreciate its movement throughout the craniosacral system and therefore the whole body, and are thus able to perceive dysfunction by palpating specific points found on the feet and on the cranium.
Through Cranio-Sacral Reflexology (CSR), we learn how to balance the three diaphragms and the autonomic nervous system by using the basic CSR protocol, as well as the Cardio Vascular and the Lymphatic protocols when and where appropriate.
CSR was devised by Dr Martine Faure Alderson, an Osteopath specializing in Cranio-Sacral Therapy, who is also a trained physician in Homeopathy, Acupuncture, and Reflexology, and who has been practising and teaching reflexology for many years. Martine set up her first School of Reflexology in Paris in 1974.
Cranio-Sacral Reflexology (CSR) post-grad training is offered to certified Reflexology Therapists and other health professionals. It consists of 10 days of training over the period of one year. It also includes periods of home study, case study preparation, practise group sessions and mentoring. This leads to a post-graduate Diploma in Cranio-Sacral Reflexology and allows membership into Cranio-Sacral Reflexology International Academy of Excellence, based in the UK.
