Craniosacral therapy

Duties and responsibilities: Craniosacral therapy is an independent healthcare profession. Practitioners aim to improve their clients’ health and well-being by listening through their hands to the body’s rhythms.

Responsibilities

§  Assess client’s health by taking a detailed case history

§  Listen to the needs of the client and make them feel at ease

§  Help to re-establish natural states of balance through hands-on treatment

§  Check client’s comfort during the session

§  Develop and maintain trust with clients

§  Work in cooperation with or refer clients to other healthcare practitioners if necessary

§  Keep and update clients’ records

§  Build up a client base

Salary: Most craniosacral therapists are self-employed and earn a fixed fee per treatment which can vary according to their experience and location. As a guide, a session can cost between £25 in a low-cost clinic and £70.

Education: Experience is very important for craniosacral therapists as their “listening” skills get deeper and more finely tuned with practice. Many practitioners have previous therapeutic or bodywork experience.

Reflection: this job doesn’t catch my attention so in my point of view I wouldn’t want to work as a craniosacral therapist.
