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 ProtocolPREREQUISITE TO ATTEND COURSE
Professional healthcare practitioner, student in healthcare program or graduate awaiting licensure/accreditation with experience in light-touch palpation. For professional healthcare practitioners 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; 15 hours of Pathology. Available home study, Upledger Health Science Essentials, through the London (Ontario) College of Osteopathy.
- 3 hours of ethics, such as our video-Ethics in Action, or other accredited organization program.
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 4-day In-Person Class PREREQUISITE: Professional healthcare practitioner, student in healthcare program or graduate awaiting licensure/accreditation with experience in light-touch palpation. For those professional healthcare practitioners living in a state/province that does not require a 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.
SomatoEmotional Release 1 (SER1)
Full Range of CranioSacral Therapy Tools for Supporting 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
ADV1 Prerequisite: SomatoEmotional Release 2 (SER2); as well as being ready/able 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 several months after attending SER2 will enhance your ADV experience.
We also recommend you have given 25 SER sessions, have a competent skillset of 10 step protocol and avenue of expression and have received ongoing CST/SER therapy prior to the class. Coming into the class being prepared and ready to address significant issues creates a more efficient therapeutic experience. Attending 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 CST curriculum helps you gain even more experience to bring into the ADV program. SER study groups are also recommended to broaden your experience.
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)
CranioSacral Therapy for Infants with Special Circumstances (CSISC)
Prerequisite: Online pre-recorded portion of the CSISC class; CCPB1; and 3 case studies (therapists who are already professionally treating infants)
OR
Online pre-recorded portion of the CSISC class; CCPB1; and 5 case studies (therapists who are not professionally treating infants)
Prior to 2022 the course prerequisite was as follows:
CranioSacral Applications for Conception, Pregnancy and Birthing 2 (CCPB2) or CranioSacral Therapy for Pediatrics 2 (CSP2). Those who meet either the current or pre-2022 requirements, and were pre-registered, can attend. Attending CCPB1 will enhance overall understanding of the body of work.
The Brain Speaks 1 (TBS1)
CranioSacral Therapy Techniques for Listening to and Working with the BrainPrerequisite: 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)
