CRT Mastery Class Description

Course Description

The Cranial Release Technique® Mastery Class program is a 24 class room hour lecture/hands-on course designed to present the student with information regarding the philosophy, science and art of the Cranial Release Technique®.

The anatomy of the cranium and spinal column, as well as the anatomy of the cranial and spinal dura mater and the fascial planes of the body are discussed through classroom lecture and Power Point presentations. The production, composition, and function of the cerebral spinal fluid, and its relationship to the physiology of the brain and central and peripheral nervous systems, are also addressed.

Relationships and theories are discussed whereby aberrant cranial dynamics may adversely affect the biomechanics of the spinal column and extremities. Discussion of aberrant cranial dynamics in regard to abnormal function of the central, autonomic, and peripheral nervous systems, as well as the endocrine system, is also included.

A thorough discussion of the principles and mechanics of the Cranial Release Technique® Process is provided in order to acquaint the student with the fundamentals of Cranial Release Technique®. Following the discussion is a coordinated series of lecture and hands-on sessions designed to develop an initial level of mastery of the various psychomotor skills involved in performing the Cranial Release Technique® Process.

The faculty/student ratios are minimized in order to ensure the highest level of efficiency and excellence in conveying to the student the proper application of the hands-on CRT process. Critical evaluations are made at various times during the teaching of the practical sessions.

Attendance

Students are expected to be in attendance at all times during the hands-on and lecture and CRT instruction. This represents a total of 24 hours of classroom instruction, (After subtracting out the 1 hour lunch on days 1, 2 & 3).

Examination

Students are graded on a “rolling assessment” basis from the time the hands-on sessions begin until the final performance of the CRT correction on Day 4. Instructors compare assessments daily during and after class, and make recommendations accordingly in regard to any remediation or extra attention required by the individual students.

Should a student not meet the required proficiency standards, established by the CRT Board as acceptable by the end of the 4 day program, they will be informed and referred to the appropriate CRT Mastery Review for remediation.

Fees

All CRT Mastery Classes consist of 4 days of lecture/ hands-on training and are led by CRT certified instructors. Class size is limited to 12 students with 3 instructors in order to insure optimal faculty/ student ratios.

Investment in the CRT Mastery Class is $3,995.00. Payment in full is accepted by check or credit card. In addition, we also offer the following deferred monthly payment option: $395.00/month for 12 consecutive months that is automatically billed to your credit card.
