2 full weekends of theory and practical tuition
Our Training
The Howat Institute of Cranio Fascial Dynamic (HICFD) 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
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 6 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. Each module consists of a theory segment followed by discussion and a practical clinical element. The modules include face to face interactions which are designed to ensure there is a clear understanding of the physical application of the CFD protocol and techniques and learning outcomes are met for practical assessment.

The modules delivered over two full weekends have excellent tutor to student ratio. Each module has a home study requirement. On completion of two full weekends covering all 6 modules, there will be registration for final practical assessment, submission of clinic case studies and a written examination.
The assessments are internally set and externally verified to check for consistency and thoroughness.
On successful outcome you will receive a final certificate of competency and you will be listed on the HICFD register of CFD practitioners.
Modules, Dates, Fees & Registration
Modules
The series of seminars present an opportunity to engage and learn with important ‘hands on approach’ in a relaxed supportive environment. All equipment will be provided and the information covered is supported by Jonathan Howat’s books to underpin each module; there will be video clips to aid the practical work and excellent tutor support during the practical to ensure the learner’s needs are met.
Please find (right) an overview of each module and a detailed schedule and reading list for each day will be provided upon enrollment.
Module 1
Introduction to Cranio-Fascial Dynamics – embryological mesenchyme generated on the 18th day of embryological development and the part it plays in the dural meningeal system with the central nervous system.
Theory

- History, vision and definition.
- Embryogenesis, birth and skeletal changes.
- Exploring the mechanical interrelationship between the: cranium, fascia, pelvis, vascular system, dental system and the brain.
