CranioSacral Therapy

.
In 1970 John Upledger, then a surgical assistant discovered the movement of the Dura Mater, the outermost layer of the meninges surrounding the brain.

He combined his findings with Dr. William Sutherland´s Cranial Osteopathy, developed them further and established CranioSacral Therapy.

Cranial Osteopathy focuses on manipulating the sutures of the skull whereas CranioSacral Therapy claims to be gentler and affects the membranes that are attached to the skull bones.

Both are highly beneficial and should ideally be applied straight after a newborn has left the womb to counteract the birth trauma of the skull.

These techniques are also very helpful and supportive during Orthodontic treatment.

I have seen a child only undergoing CranioSacral Therapy and her jaws and teeth moved into their natural well aligned position, amazing!
