UI CranioSacral
Therapy Certification Program
CranioSacral Therapy Techniques (available after CSII)
CranioSacral Therapy Diplomate (available after ADVI)
The Upledger Institute, Inc.® CranioSacral Therapy certification program is
designed to bring therapists trained in UI CranioSacral Therapysm
(CST) recognition for their knowledge and skill in this therapeutic modality.
The benefits of CST certification are on many levels. As a CST-certified therapist, you:
- Affirm your capabilities and understanding of the techniques
- Build confidence in the minds of your patient/clients that you are highly
skilled in the modality
- Help build the case for local and national governmental recognition
- Play a pivotal role in securing the rights of all qualified therapists to practice CST
- Receive "certified" designation in the International Association of Healthcare
Practitioners annual directory
- Are eligible to use the UI logo in your advertising and on business cards
Program Overview
There are two levels of CST certification available through UI:
- Level One – Techniques
- Level Two – Diplomate
Testing at either level involves three examination phases: open book essay, objective
(multiple choice, true/false questions), and practical/oral (administered by certified
examiners). Along with your application, please provide a copy of your hands-on licensure
document or equivalent documentation indicating legal ability to practice. CST certification
is not designed at this time to serve as a hands-on license.
