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.
