What will I learn during this course?

This course will teach you the theory and palpation skills necessary to master the classical biomechanical approach to Cranial Osteopathy. Level 1 places emphasis on understanding the anatomy and physiology of the Cranial Mechanism and learning how to palpate for and assess the Cranial Rhythmic Impulse (CRI) in order to begin correcting it in order to alleviate basic symptoms like fatigue, congestion headaches, ect.

We use a multi-modality teaching format that provides you with the flexibility to attend a live online class with your Instructor every week for six weeks, followed by an intensive two day practice Workshop to consolidate your palpation and treatment skills in a group setting where you will benefit from lots of hands-on demonstration and guidance from your Instructor. During the weekly online classes, you are also given access to online demonstration videos for each weekly subject, and can download useful practice charts and homework assignments. Students are expected to practice the skills they learn each week since Cranial Osteopathy is a field that requires much practice in order to master.

Below is the upcoming Autumn course schedule for the live online classes and Workshop portion in Toronto

You will learn detailed anatomy which is crucial for performing precise, effective treatments. We will then review the structure and function of the Cranial Mechanism from a Biomechanical approach (Sutherland). You will learn correct hand placement and the palpation skills to be able to identify dysfunctions with the Cranial Rhythm and how to correct it. These skills will prepare you to be able to incorporate basic but highly effective Cranial Osteopathy techniques into your Manual Therapy treatments, making them more global and more effective.
