Hi everyone,
I took CST 1 a month after graduating my program in 2004. Although my instructor was amazing and I was able to help my 14yr old decrease the frequency and intensity of his headaches, and helped several clients achieve really great results; I still lack confidence in my abilities to apply the protocol properly. I look forward to learning and gaining confidence here by drawing from everyone's experiences and encouragement.

Steve visit http://www.Upledger.com and search for a practitioner. choose City and State and Cst. There is a CST-D named Shyamala Strack, OT, CST-D that has an IAHP profile that may be able to guide you to study groups. After I took CST1 in 02 I had to give 175 CST sessions as a prereq for CST2. I started incorporating what I learned into each and every session. I became so comfortable with it that CST2 was actually an enlightening experience. No with more than 300 sessions under my belt, dxing problems is almost intuitive.

Steve, Thanks for your email. I don't know of a study group in the Ga area. So sorry. I will ask around. I am offering a CST class in Asheville that you may want to take. Reviewing these classes is so helpful. I took them over and over and became a TA for the Upledger institute. I understand your concerns about not feeling confident to offer it yet to clients. If I locate a study group I will let you know

I describe it to my clients receiving it during the still point as if they were to imagine being on Cloud nine, that mythical place where there is no pain or stress just total peace. I tell them that if they can imagine that, then by doing the still point that is the sensation their CNS is being introduced to. They relate to that analogy very well.

Hello,

I have been doing CST for a long time (basically it is the only hands-on modality I work with). Just to clarify, the 10 steps protocol was put together by Upledger as a basic practice. However, the practice and philosophy of the work stresses listening to the body and palpating the tides (or cerebrospinal fluids) as a "diagnostic" way to be guided into a therapeutic session.

The treatment is dependent upon what the therapist hears from your body concerning the amount and type of treatment you should receive at that time. If it took a whole session to release your diaphragm, you body may have told the therapist that was all it could handle at that time.
Did the therapist request you receive an additional session? If you do not feel that you gained from that therapist, try another. If there is a local CST study group in your area, that would be a great place to get opinions and recomendations about your treatments, and to understand how the protocal works.

In Love and Light!

I have survived a TBI (traumatic brain injury) trained and became licensed as a massage therapist and have completed CST1&2 by UpLedger. I received a treatment by a CST(D) yesterday, not a full 10 step protocol assessment but primarily a diaphragm release. I felt the release but why just do one and not the protocol?

Thank you Frank for your insight and your words of compassion.
I believe that in any bodywork, that it is always heighten by the right intent of the therapist.
Thank you, I appreciate your response. You are so right.

You son should do ok with out your physical treatment and application of CranioSacral therapy. As you progress in your training, you will find that so much of the effectiveness of CranioSacral therapy is built upon the intent of the practitioner. During your son's absence, continue doing the 10 step protocal in your mind on your son. Send him unconditional love and the intent that he use the energy of your mental exercise to heal help heal his body.

In Love and Light!

I have only the first level done. My son left for school today. so I will not see him for a couple of weeks.
He is improving much. So maybe by the 5 or 7 week it should be not a problem to work on him?
