    Foundation & History of CranioSacral Therapy

OSTEOPATHY
     The history of CranioSacral Therapy dates back to the early 1900s, when osteopathic physician William Sutherland was struck by the unusual idea that the bones of the skull were structured to allow for movement. For more than 20 years he explored this concept, eventually developed a system of examination and treatment know as Cranial Osteopathy.

     Then in 1970, Dr. John E. Upledger observed the rhythmic movement of the craniosacral system firsthand during surgery. Yet none of his colleagues nor any medical texts could explain his discovery.
     Two years later, Dr. Upledger attended a seminar that explained Sutherland’s ideas, as well as some of his evaluation and treatment techniques. Coupling a scientific background with tactile sensitivity, Dr. Upledger was quick to understand how a hydraulic system using cerebrospinal fluid might function inside a membranous sac encased within the skull and spinal column canal. He incorporated and refined Dr. Sutherland’s techniques with success.

Note: See schematic picture of The Autonomic Nervous System below.

THE CRANIOSACRAL SYSTEM
     Dr. Upledger then set out to scientifically confirm the existence of the craniosacral system. In 1975 he was asked to join the Oseiopathic College at Michigan State University as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics. There he led a team of anatomists, physiologists, biophysicists and bioengineers to test and document the influence of therapy on the craniosacral system.
     For the first time they were able to explain, in both scientific and practical terms, the function of the craniosacral system. They also demonstrated how this system could be used to evaluate and treat malfunctions involving the brain and spinal cord, as well as a myriad of other health problems that were previously misunderstood.


CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
     Dr. Upledger’s continued work in the field - as well as that of Dr. Zvi Karni, PhD, Biomechanics - resulted in the development of CranioSacral Therapy.
In the decades since his initial research, Dr Upledger has written three textbooks and has detailed the functioning of the craniosacral system. He has also written two books explaining CranioSacral Therapy to the public: Your Inner Physician and You and A Brain Is Born: Exploring the Birth and Development of the Central Nervous System.
In 1985, Dr Upledger established The Upledger Institute, Inc. (upledger.com), a clinical and educational resource center founded to teach the public and healthcare practitioners about the benefits of CranioSacral Therapy. To date, The Upledger Institute had trained more than 27,000 healthcare practitioners worldwide in the use of CranioSacral Therapy.

"I have received CST before, but not with this powerful effect."




"Since the age of 8, Jo Anna Wiersma had lived at the mercy of reflexive sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), a neurological syndrome brought on, in her case, from a simple fall while roller-skating....In a two-week intensive program, Jo Anna was found to have severe restrictions of her intracranial membrane system and dural tube - a compromised craniosacral system - and severe imbalances in her autonomic nervous system and myofascia. During the course of therapy, "I knew something was going on inside me," Jo Anna says." ... I'm pain-free most days of the week now, which, actually, is a weird feeling. I honestly didn't remember life without pain."
From 21-Year-Old Looks Forward to Pain-Free Adulthood by Dr. Upledger






"Here you've got a young man who's been almost killed in an altercation, then a year later is pretty well paralyzed on the left side of his body, can't talk, can't do anything. Then five years later I had a worse accident than the first two.(Will was run over by a road grader - a machine about 30 feet long and 38,000 pounds.). .... "Nobody before this really considered that I had multiple problems that were already there, and that they were still coexisting inside my body. The lymphatic and CranioSacral work released everything"."
              From "CranioSacrally Speaking: The Will to Persevere " by Dr. Upledger
