Cranio Sacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is a manual therapeutic procedure for remedying distortions in the structure and function
of the Craniosacral  mechanism -- the membranes that contain the cerebrospinal fluid within the head and spinal
column, as well as the cranial (head and face) bones to which these membranes are attached. The CranioSacral
practitioner uses a light touch, generally no more weight than a nickel, to check for restrictions in the craniosacral
system.  This is done by monitoring the rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid as it flows through the system.  The
client remains dressed, while lying in a relaxed position on the practitioner's table.  The positive effects of the
therapy rely to a large extent on the body's natural self-corrective activities.  The therapist's light, hands-on
approach simply assists the hydraulic forces of the craniosacral system to improve the body's internal
environment, and strengthen its ability to heal itself.  CranioSacral Therapy strengthens your body's ability to
take better care of you.  It helps alleviate a range of illness, pain and dysfunction, including: Migraines and
Headaches, Chronic Neck and Back Pain, Motor-Coordination Impairments, Stress- and Tension-Related
Problems, Infantile Disorders, Traumatic Brain and Spinal Core Injuries, Chronic Fatigue, Scoliosis, Central
Nervous System Disorders, Emotional Difficulties, Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ), Learning
Disabilities, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Orthopedic Problems, And Many Other Conditions

Craniosacral Therapy was developed by Dr. John Upledger, an osteopath, in the 1970s. It is based on an approach
popularized by Dr. William Sutherland, an osteopath in the early 1900's.

The craniosacral system (cranio means head and sacral refers to the area at the base of the spine) includes the
brain and spinal cord. They are bathed in a craniosacral fluid that has a rhythmic pulse, similar to blood pressure.

The craniosacral therapist senses the pulse and looks for any subtle restrictions in the flow of craniosacral fluid.
Restrictions are beleived to be the cause of poor health, especially conditions related to the brain, spine, and
nervous system.
