CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
was developed by the Osteopathic physician John E. Upledger.
It is used to detect and correct imbalances in the craniosacral
system, which may be the cause of sensory, motor or neurological
dysfunction. The craniosacral system consists of the membranes
and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain
and the spinal cord. It extends from the bones of the skull,
face and mouth—which make up the cranium—down
to the sacrum, or tailbone area. This therapy employs a very
light touch with profound effects, and is used to successfully
treat headaches, neck and back pain, TMJ, chronic fatigue,
motor coordination difficulties, eye problems and central
nervous system disorders.
