Craniosacral Therapy is the most practical, comprehensive textbook in this rapidly growing field of therapy involving the cranial bones, meningeal membranes, cerebrospinal fluids, and whole-body connective tissues. Craniosacral Therapy defines the physiology and anatomy of the craniosacral system, its function in health, and relationship to disease processes. It provides practical instruction in developing and extending palpatory skills which will greatly benefit all forms of manipulation, as well as basic physical diagnosis.

As a student at a massage school which highly values craniosacral therapy I have been learning this therapy in class and recently attended the first course from Upledger Institute (CS1) For anyone interested in taking CS courses from the institute this is required reading for the class (first 6 chapters). After attending the class and using these techniques in clinic I am thrilled by this hands on, educational and technique perfecting book.By Ram Sam
This is not meant for people just wondering what Craniosacral therapy is (try 'Inner Physician and You' or "Touchstone for Health" if you want an easy, interesting intro of case studies and experiences) but more for a therapist (liscensed or not, anyone who is actually interested in PERFORMING the work) to use as a text book. It is absolutely written as such, but for someone like me who had learned it at school, and sometimes struggled with the theory and study and knowledge behind it. it is an amzing read. You will learn hand positions, suture release techniques, 10 step protocol, direction of energy, and so much more. If you think this may be a therapy you are adding to your practice then I recommend this book highly. It is presented with the assumption of the reader fluent in anatomical terms and familiar with CS history.
Au contraire Mr. Deveno, everyone knows the cranial rhythmic impulse, like the pulse rate and blood pressure, varies from time to time and from person to person and from measurer to measurer. But this is an aside. A recent article in the respected Journal of Pediatrics, showed that osteopathic manipulation (which included CST) helped in cases of otitis media (i.e. ear infections). What makes CST controversial is the theory that the cranial sutures are being moved and that cerebrospinal fluid motion is being influenced. This is the theory behind CST. For all we know the working mechanism of CST could be completely different. Upledger's book is well written and gives practical advice on the treatment of patients, as well as the current working theory behind CST. He includes not only his variation of the vault maneuvers, but also the classical vault maneuvers developed by Sutherland.By the way it should be noted that Upledger taught CST at MSU-College of Osteopathic Medicine which is consistently ranked as a top 50 medical school by US News and World Report.By Joe Cool
