Previous participants include Osteopaths, Acupuncturists, Homoeopaths, Chiropractors, Shiatsu Practitioners, Alexander Technique Teachers, Masseurs, Doctors, Nurses, Physiotherapists, Psychotherapists, Aromatherapists, Reflexologists and Naturopaths. The courses have a very practical orientation, providing a systematic approach to treatment, which can be readily applied to patients in a clear, coherent, effective and well integrated manner. The courses also provide a clear approach to the management of a Cranio-Sacral session, personal development as a therapist, professional handling of treatment responses, and an overall holistic perception of the patient. Study Groups and Tutorials are available throughout the course, providing valuable opportunities for practice, revision, and dealing with any queries that may arise. A Teaching Clinic is also an integral part of the training.
Ongoing assessment is through regular practical work with the tutors and through written assesments.
Home study and background reading are required. On completion of the training, there is an optional exam, successful completion of which entitles graduates to a Certificate in Cranio-Sacral Therapy. Graduates are eligible to join the Craniosacral Therapy Association, and will then be included on the CSTA's register of qualified practitioners. The CSTA is the professional association for Craniosacral Therapists in the UK, ensuring and maintaining standards. Completion of certain advanced courses, projects, and post graduate activities will lead to a Diploma in Craniosacral Therapy.
