The 7 Module on-line theory course and assessment
Our Training
The Howat Protocols of Cranio Fascial Dynamic (HPCFD) presents a detailed and informative series of modules on Cranio Fascial Dynamics (CFD) including the Howat 8 Step Protocol, written and delivered by Jonathan MP Howat.
Learn the Howat 8 Step Protocol Now
The Howat 8 Step Protocol was developed to assess and treat cranial distortion, dural membrane torque and its impact on cranial circulation. The end result being the effect on the role played by the entire cranio-spinal fascial system as dictated by the haemodynamic forces set in motion during the 32nd week of embryological development.
The Howat 8 Step Protocol, devised by Jonathan Howat, aims to reduce torque and re-establish a dural membrane system that supports and balances the brain and spinal cord.
CFD Course
The cranio-fascial influence on the entire body is huge and may have an effect on every aspect of the body’s physiology. The course consists of 8 modules covering all aspects of CFD and designed to include the major components that have a bearing on how cranio-fascial distortions occur and manifest.
Jonathan Howat designed and wrote the modules to create a balance of informative, theoretical elements and the all important hands on practical experience, essential for learning the protocol. As a result of the Covid pandemic and ‘restrictive’ gathering policy, HPCFD has made available, all the 8 modules and are now taught on-line to allow the ‘student’ to learn the theory at their leisure in the confines of their homes.
The important practical side of the course – module 8 – will be conducted on a ‘face to face’ basis to learn the clinical application of CFD, in a live, hands-on experience to ensure that every aspect of the stand-alone technique is mastered. The venues of these practical clinical seminars will be advertised on this site, with appropriate dates.

The venues of these practical clinical seminars will be advertised on this site, with appropriate dates.
The 7 on-line modules will be accompanied by supportive reference material that is necessary for the ‘student’. Each module has an on-line assessment component to be completed at the end of each module. On the successful completion of the on-line theory components for modules 1-7 and the clinical practical module 8, there will be eligibility for the final practical assessment and submission of clinic case studies.
The assessments are internally set and maybe externally verified to check for consistency of marking and thoroughness of each component.
On the successful outcome of all the final assessments, a final certificate of competency is awarded and a listing on the HPCFD Website as a registered CFD practitioner.
