The body healing itself
At this still point, a silence cradles a sense of true well being. The body has deeply relaxed, and the fascia, which before was tight and restrictive, has loosened and softened, allowing the CranioSacral system to come into equilibrium. The body has adjusted and balanced itself. A feeling of relaxation and lightness become apparent. There is a deeper intuitive knowing that the body has been healed and renewed. This treatment is used preventively for maintaining excellent health as well as an effective means of helping a wide variety of medical problems. CranioSacral therapy is becoming more widely known as people are searching for alternative methods that work. It is safe, non-invasive, effective and painless. It allows one to feel a centered calm sense of well being.
Who developed CST?
A pulsing ebb and flow rhythmic movement of what would soon be identified as the CranioSacral system (experienced while assisting in a spinal cord surgery) piqued Dr. John Upledger’s curiosity. He began searching for the answer. He started with the research of Dr. William Sutherland, the father of cranial osteopathy. In the early 1900’s Sutherland had explored the concept that the bones of the skull were structured to allow for movement. For decades after, this theory remained at odds with conventional belief. Dr. Upledger believed that if Sutherland’s theory of cranial movement were true, this would help explain and make feasible the existence of the rhythm he had encountered in surgery. It was at this point that Dr. Upledger set out to confirm scientifically the existence of cranial bone motion. Dr. Upledger’s continued work in the field ultimately resulted in his development of CranioSacral therapy, and the Upledger Institute was founded in 1985. Today there are more than 50,000 practitioners trained in CST.
