Calgary and Edmonton · CST 1, 2, 3 and MFR 1, 2 · Open to healthcare professionals with Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology training
Why These Two Methods Pair So Well
CranioSacral Therapy helps you calm the nervous system and work with subtle whole-body patterns. Myofascial Release helps you address structural restriction, posture, and fascial tension. Together they give you a more complete way to treat clients who need more than symptom chasing.

Two Complementary Tracks
Choose The Entry Point That Fits Your Clinical Goal
Some therapists want to begin with subtle cranial and nervous system work. Others want to start with fascia, posture, and structural restriction. This page makes both paths easier to understand.
CranioSacral Therapy
CST helps therapists work with cranial rhythm, dural patterns, nervous system regulation, and deeper whole-body listening. It is especially helpful for headaches, stress-related presentations, TMJ, and layered client patterns that do not respond well to force-driven work.
The most natural starting point is CST 1 Online or CST 1 In Person, then continuing into CST 2 and CST 3.
Myofascial Release
MFR helps therapists work with posture, fascial tension, thoracic and lumbar restriction, and whole-body structural relationships. It gives a practical hands-on path for clients with chronic tension, postural imbalance, and movement restriction.
The natural progression is MFR 1 followed by MFR 2, with bundle and cross-track options available separately if you want a different combination.
For many therapists, CST and MFR become a strong complementary pair: one improves regulation and subtle integration, while the other improves structural freedom and postural change.

Not Sure Which Option Fits Best?
Use these quick decision points to choose the course, track, and format that best matches your practice goals.
Start with CST 1 Online if you want to begin now
This is the easiest entry point if you want immediate access and a clear foundation before moving into CST 2 or CST 3 in person.
Choose the CST track for deeper nervous system work
CST is a strong fit if you want to work more effectively with headaches, stress-related presentations, TMJ, and subtle whole-body patterns.
Choose the MFR track for posture and structural restriction
MFR is a practical fit if your clients commonly present with thoracic and lumbar restriction, postural imbalance, chronic tension, and movement limitations.
Pick Edmonton if you want the fall progression
Edmonton is especially useful if you want the CST 2 and 3 fall sequence or want to combine MFR 1 with CST 2 in the same training block.
Pick Calgary if you want the clearest full progression
Calgary offers the featured CST 1, 2, and 3 bundle and is also the cleanest option for therapists who want to move through the full MFR sequence.
