CCST is the most established college of Cranio-Sacral Therapy in Europe - currently in its 35th year. This is reflected in the experience of the tutor team, the well established support structure for the students – including a Teaching Clinic, regular Study Groups, Tutorials – and a wide network of previous graduates throughout the UK and in many other countries. The approach to Cranio-Sacral Therapy at CCST is Integrated Cranio-Sacral Therapy. Within the field of Cranio-Sacral Therapy there are different approaches, ranging from those which work primarily with the inherent healing forces of nature (sometimes described as biodynamic and seen as being more abstract) to those which are more orientated to the application of techniques (sometimes described as biomechanical and seen as being more grounded in basic sciences). CCST is distinctive in that it integrates all of these concepts to provide a comprehensive professional training with a broad approach that can respond more effectively to each patient according to his or her needs. The course is fundamentally biodynamic in nature, and also incorporates a wide spectrum of resources in order to expand the practitioner’s perspective, enhance therapeutic effectiveness, and enable most effective clinical practice, as well as providing a firm grounding in knowledge and clinical experience. The founder and principal Thomas Attlee DO RCST was the first teacher of Cranio-Sacral Therapy in the UK and is the author of the foundation volume “Cranio-Sacral Integration”. The college is accredited by the Cranio-Sacral Therapy Association. Graduates are eligible to use the letters RCST after their names. Approximately half the Registered Cranio-Sacral Therapists in the UK are graduates of CCST. The College offers a variety of trainings to suit different needs:

Cranio-Sacral Therapy:
1-year Diploma Course.
2-year Diploma Course - Weekend Format. Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology:
A certificated pre-Diploma foundation course

Post Graduate courses:
A variety of Post-Graduate trainings is available

There is also a clinic at the Centre for Cranio-Sacral Therapy in Primrose Hill, London NW1 8XE, offering a wide range of alternative therapies, and including a Low Cost Teaching Clinic, with treatments from £15. http://on.fb.me/1C4nwPD

shares: “The nervous system is woven through the fascial web that surrounds every organ, muscle, and vessel.

This connective matrix is the body’s most densely innervated sensory organ, carrying a constant stream of mechanical, chemical, and vibrational information to the brain.

But as fascia stiffens, dehydrates, or loses glide, the quality of this sensory input declines, and the nervous system shifts toward defense rather than regulation….

The autonomic system responds by increasing sympathetic tone and reinforcing patterns of protection. What begins as local stiffness becomes a global shift in neural behavior, altering breath, coordination, and emotional regulation.
…
Restoring fascial elasticity and hydration returns precision to the system. Activating mechanoreceptors downshifts sympathetic output and improves vagal tone.“

In 2026, the College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy is offering a comprehensive fascia-focused training programme designed to introduce and deepen practical skills in Fascial Unwinding. These courses will be highly practical and interactive, offering both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience.

The training will be led by Thomas Attlee, principal of the College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy, presenting an approach to fascial work that is not generally available elsewhere.

shares: “Do you pour into everyone else before you nourish yourself? 🪽🌬️✨ Put on your oxygen mask first. Fill your cup. The little one inside you needs to feel safe, held, and deeply loved to thrive. 🌿 Even the most devoted healers need healing.

As Dr. Gabor Maté has said, “Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you.” When we grow up without secure attachment, we often learn to give endlessly while neglecting our own restoration.

💛 If you consider yourself a caregiver, healer, artist, or energy worker, conscious self-care is a critical form of spiritual maintenance. Protect your spirit. Guard your vision. Replenish the well so your offerings can stay clear, grounded, and aligned.

🌸 Tag someone who honors both the giving and the receiving.”

When we’re stuck in fight-or-flight, everything feels harder. Stress builds, tension lingers, sleep suffers. But CST helps the body remember how to soften. With light, respectful touch, it supports deep unwinding—physically, emotionally, and energetically—allowing your system to move from overwhelm into ease.

At the College of Cranio-sacral Therapy, we’re offering a unique opportunity to receive high-quality CST at an affordable rate.
Our London teaching clinics include:

🌀 Low-cost student sessions – guided by experienced tutors
🌀 Sessions with fully qualified practitioners – for even deeper support

Both options are available at our welcoming central London locations.

Whether you’re managing stress, recovering from burnout, or simply ready to feel more like yourself again—this gentle therapy can make a powerful difference.

Working with the fascia offers an extraordinarily valuable therapeutic process, often with far-reaching repercussions. It can be pivotal in supporting recovery from musculo-skeletal injuries, relieving chronic pain and restriction, addressing emotional tension, assisting in the integration of profound trauma, and enhancing overall body-mind coherence. For many practitioners, fascial work becomes a key element in their approach — an entry point to deeper listening, more subtle engagement, and more effective outcomes.

In 2026, the College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy is offering a comprehensive fascia-focused training programme designed to introduce and deepen practical skills in Fascial Unwinding.

shares: “Body architecture responds to the principles of biotensegrity”

The body is not made of pieces that are assembled, but of tensions that balance each other.

Biotensegrity explains that bones float within a continuous network of fascia, muscles, and ligaments that maintain shape, movement, and stability.

Every pull, every emotion, or blockage is distributed over a distance: nothing acts in isolation.

Therefore, when one area is released, the entire system reorganizes itself.

The body is not corrected: it is reorganized, seeking its axis, its breath, and its coherence.

A living biomechanical perspective that reminds us that we are a single piece, woven from within and without.”

shares “✨ 🧠 You are an energetic being.

Align your habits with the frequency you want to embody. Every habit, thought, and emotion rewires your brain, quite literally. Your neurons fire together and wire together, strengthening pathways that shape your reality. This is neuroplasticity in action! Daily habits determine your dominant brain wave state, influencing focus, creativity, stress, and how deeply you heal.”

Cranio-sacral Therapy supports this natural process of renewal. Through gentle contact and deep listening, the system begins to settle and reorganise, creating space for balance and ease. Working with the fascia deepens this — helping the body reconnect through its intricate web of relationships. ✨

We’re offering online and in-person classes in 2026 exploring fascia and its role in healing.

shares: “Negative emotions.

With them comes a chain affect of negative impacts on the body, such as tension causing viscoelastic adaptation.

Viscoelastic adaptation refers to the fascia’s ability to reshape itself, responding to your mechanical and emotional environment.

‘You are what you eat’ a common term used to describe and suggest that your body becomes a reflection of your dietary choices.

In this case, your fascia too becomes what it experiences. Your fascia is your emotions.”
