CS1: CranioSacral Therapy 1: Assessment of Central Nervous System and Fascia for Full Body Treatment Protocol

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:

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, available through the London (Ontario) College of Osteopathy (shop.iahe.com).

3 hours of ethics, such as our video Ethics in Action, available at shop.iahe.com, or other accredited organization program.
