Home/Biodynamic Skills for Working with Cranial and Peripheral Nerves

Biodynamic Skills for Working with Cranial and Peripheral Nerves

In this 6-class online series, students will learn how to work with the subtleties of the cranial and peripheral nerves. Besides increasing your anatomical awareness, this exploration will introduce you to a further skill in the Biodynamic skill set—nerve tracking. Nerve tracking requires you to deepen your skills of listening, conversation and recognition, and to add another dimension to those skills: tracking the health and inertia of the system along entire nerve pathways. This work enables practitioners to work skillfully with a variety of cranial nerve pathologies, such as trigeminal neuralgia, as well as peripheral nerve conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Attend this cranial nerve series and get credit for the cranial nerve project. If you took your BCST foundation training with Gary Peterson and are still working on your out-of-class requirements to become an RCST®, you’ll get credit for the cranial nerve project by attending this workshop.
