Pre-requisite Workshop(s):

For those who wish to take CS1, and 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 and Physiology and 15 hours of Pathology. One way to satisfy this requirement is through the home study coursework, Upledger Health Science Essentials, http://shop.iahe.com/Product-List/All-Products/Upledger-Health-Science-Essentials, available through the London (Ontario) College of Osteopathy.
2. 3 hours of ethics, such as our video-Ethics in Action, available at http://shop.iahe.com/Product-List/All-Products/Online-Video-Ethics-in-Action, or other accredited organization program

Description:
This course will introduce you to the anatomy and physiology of the CranioSacral System through our practical hands-on "learning by discovery" method. You will learn advanced palpatory skills, fascial and soft tissue release techniques, and a concise 10-step protocol for evaluation and treatment of the entire body via the CranioSacral System. To supplement class instruction you will receive a fully-illustrated, comprehensive study guide.
