QCan I do level III of the CST course before doing level II?
A
Yes level II is offered only once per year in Adelaide and is a special live in retreat. So we have arranged the schedule so you can undertake levels III , IV and V before level II if you wish. Naturally we encourage you to do level II asap to experience the full power and scope of this work.
QDo I have to do all levels to practice this work?
A
In each level you will learn skills and techniques that you can immediately use in your own clinic. You can do part of the whole course or the whole course depending on your circumstances . Some practitioners take 3-4 years to do all the levels – others do it over a 2 year time frame.
QWhy do you emphasize Myofascial Release with Craniosacral Therapy?
A
Studying the Fascial System is not only complementary to the study of CST but is essential for doing good CST work. Essentially the Craniosacral System is interdependent on the Fascial System of the body and vice versa so treating one system effects the other. Sometimes fascial releases need to be completed before CST work can be efficiently engaged. This concept is not new. Pioneering Osteopath A.T. Still MD had this to say –“when our fascia is free we are free” : he also state ” I know of no part of the body that equals the fascia as a hunting ground”. I believe that more rich golden thought will appear to the mind’s eye as the study of the fascia is pursued than any division of the body”.
A.T .Still MD was a person ahead of his time and the role of the fascia and it’s function was later to be expanded by John Barnes PT whose studies confirmed Stills thoughts and concepts. Such ideas were thought of as being revolutionary at the time but now have been confirmed by modern science .
QWhy do I have to do some study in Adelaide not in my local area for example – Sydney?
A
This is due to low production costs in Adelaide. For example to hire the Medical school and classrooms for the delivery of Cranial Anatomy ( CST level 5 ) is one quarter of what the costs would be in Sydney. Therefore it is cheaper to offer this class and others in Adelaide for the student numbers concerned. Cranial Anatomy and the CST level 2 retreats are very special and unique to the CST trainings at the Academy. For details on accommodation please peruse this website or ring us on 1800 101 105 .
QCan you let know more about the craniosacral content that you teach in your course?
A
Please download the Somatic Topics PDF file for the cranial content taught over the 7 levels of the course. These topics are not taught specifically in one section but will be covered over the levels.
