Presented by Erica McKeen RCST MCSP
19 June 2025 | 7:00pm

We are pleased to welcome Erica McKeen for this insightful and timely webinar exploring Craniosacral Therapy (CST) as an integrative approach to concussion and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

Webinar Focus

This webinar will address the complexities and challenges associated with treating post-concussion patients.

Concussions and mTBIs can have profound, life-altering impacts on professional, family, and social functioning. Despite often showing normal imaging results, many individuals are left with persistent symptoms and are advised to resume regular activities — leaving them feeling frustrated and helpless.

Erica will explore how BCST, combined with Polyvagal theory and the latest research in concussion, can support practitioners in identifying dysfunction and facilitating recovery.

Key Learning Outcomes

  • The biomechanics and pathophysiology of concussion trauma mTBI
  • The cascade of events in the brain following injury
  • The broader systemic effects on tissues, fluids, and potency
  • Clinical red flags and predisposing factors for Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)
  • A comprehensive CST treatment guide to support healing
