Foundation Certificate in Body Science:

The perfect foundation for CranioSacral Therapy.  

 

Presented by the College of Body Science

 

 

If you are coming to train in CST without a previous background and no qualification in the ‘body science’ stuff no problem!

We have an in-depth foundation course that will build the framework and layer your knowledge to give you a head start on the CST path!

The training as a whole blends the anatomy, physiology and pathology that you will need.

There are 10 weeks of online lectures, demonstrations, quizzes and activities for you to complete on the anatomy and physiology. These are supported by 10 weekly, live, online sessions on Monday mornings, after which you will have access to the next week’s online material.

After a break there are 3 weeks covering pathology.

There will be some pieces of written work to be completed and an exam to help you find your own inventive ways to absorb it all!

Depending on scheduling, you may be able to begin a CST1 class before the training is completely finished.

This has been developed by the College of Body Science in conjunction with the Upledger Institute curriculum and the Cranio Sacral Society, who have ratified the syllabus and content.

So look at all that! It’ll perfectly cover the start of what you need to know.

A fair few people with previous qualifications also come on this and get loads out of it, too.

It is equivalent to a level 3 / 4 qualification, honed to give you what you will need as CranioSacral Therapy practitioners.

Of course, there is always more, and you will continue to broaden and deepen your knowledge as you work and progress.

But it’s an amazing start.
