CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics. CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. By complementing the body\'s natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction. SomatoEmotional Release (SER) SER is a therapeutic process that uses and expands on the principles of CranioSacral Therapy to help rid the mind and body of the residual effects of trauma. SER offers applications designed to enhance results using CST and other complementary therapies.
Upledger CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy 1 (CS1)
Assessment of Central Nervous System and Fascia for Full Body Treatment ProtocolProfessional healthcare practitioner, student in healthcare program or graduate awaiting licensure/accreditation with experience in light-touch palpation. For those who live in a state or province that does not require a healthcare hands-on license to practice CST, the following minimum study is required: - 80 hours of Anatomy & Physiology and 15 hours of Pathology. Available home study coursework, Upledger Health Science Essentials, through the London (Ontario) College of Osteopathy.
- 4 hours of ethics, from accredited organization.
CranioSacral Therapy 1-Hybrid Virtual and In-Person Lab (CS1-VC & CS1-L)
Assessment of Central Nervous System and Fascia for Full Body Treatment ProtocolLEARNING OPTIONS! 2-day Virtual Class (CS1-VC) with 2-day In-Person Lab Class (CS1-L), or our standard 4-day In-Person Class (CS1). Prerequisite: Professional healthcare practitioner, student in healthcare program or graduate awaiting licensure/accreditation with experience in light-touch palpation. For those who live in a state or province that does not require a healthcare hands-on license to practice CST, the following minimum study is required: 1. 80 hours of Anatomy & Physiology and 15 hours of Pathology. Available home study coursework, Upledger Health Science Essentials, through the London (Ontario) College of Osteopathy. 2. 4 hours of ethics, from accredited organization.
CranioSacral Therapy 2 (CS2)
Moving Beyond the Dura for Assessing Acute and Chronic ConditionsPrerequisite: CranioSacral Therapy 1 (CS1) and thorough working knowledge of the 10-Step Protocol.
CranioSacral Therapy 2 Virtual (CS2-V)
Moving Beyond the Dura for Assessing Acute and Chronic ConditionsPrerequisite: CranioSacral Therapy 1 (CS1) and thorough working knowledge of the 10-Step Protocol.
SomatoEmotional Release 1 (SER1)
Full Range of CranioSacral Therapy Tools for Gentle Trauma ResolutionPrerequisite: CranioSacral Therapy 2 (CS2) in-person training, or equivalent
SomatoEmotional Release 2 (SER2)
Intention, Inner Physician and Dialogue - Deepening Principles and Practice of Upledger CranioSacral TherapyPrerequisite: SomatoEmotional Release 1 (SER1); and typically a period of a minimum of a few/several months of practice using the SER techniques. Having practiced giving and receiving SER techniques during this time frame will help ensure that you are prepared to add information to this foundation, and provide maximum learning potential from attending SER2.
Advanced CranioSacral Therapy 1-3
ADV1 Prerequisite: SomatoEmotional Release 2 (SER2); as well as being ready to do deep introspective work, and be comfortable giving and receiving SomatoEmotional Release. While each person's experience is unique, typically a span of practice of at least a few/several months after attending SER2 will enhance your ADV experience. We also encourage you to attend additional workshops such as SomatoEmotional Release Technique: Mastering the Inner Physician (SERTIP), Clinical Application Programs (CASR), The Brain Speaks (TBS) or other courses in the CranioSacral Therapy curriculum to help you gain even more experience to bring into the ADV program.
CranioSacral Therapy for Pediatrics 2 (CSP2)
Deepening Family Dynamics Application, Brain Anatomy and Physiology, and Creative Dialoguing for Fine-Tuning Pediatric TreatmentPrerequisite: CranioSacral Therapy for Pediatrics (CSP1)
The Brain Speaks 1 (TBS1)
Listening to and Treating the Whole Brain with CranioSacral Therapy TechniquesPrerequisite: SomatoEmotional Release 1 (SER1)
The Brain Speaks 2 (TBS2)
Addressing Developmental Trauma and Unresolved Shock Trauma and their roles in Brain Dysfunctions and ConditionsPrerequisite: The Brain Speaks 1 (TBS1), and recommended SomatoEmotional Release 2 (SER2) or SomatoEmotional Release Technique: Mastering the Inner Physician (SERTIP)
CranioSacral Presentation Tools (CSPT)
Prerequisite: Successful completion of SomatoEmotional Release 1 and at least two (2) CS1 teaching-assistant assignments with a score of 4.5 or higher within the past three (3) years, preferably with at least two different CS1 Instructors. AND Submission of: Application form, including written recommendations from 2 UII CST instructors on the formal recommendation forms.
Clinical Applications
Prerequisite: Varies from CranioSacral Therapy 2 (CS2) to Advanced CranioSacral Therapy (ADV)
Equine
Prerequisite: Varies from none, to CranioSacral Therapy 1 with horse experience, to SomatoEmotional Release 1 and EcoSomatic Equine 1 (ESE1)
EcoSomatics Small Animals
Prerequisite: CranioSacral Therapy 1 (CS1) or animal professional for ESSA1, ESSA1 + 75 sessions for ESSA2
