This book is inspiring and awestriking at the same time. John Upledger, DO is one of the biggest names in craniosacral therapy (CST). CST is a gentle bodywork that involves handson manipulation of the head & facial bones and the rest of the spine. I myself had double vision resolve. Its a fascinating book and topic. I have dreams of becoming a craniosacral therapist one day.

I enjoyed reading this book. If you are interested in the innate capacity of the body to heal itself and how that can be facilitated through Craniosacral, you will like this. I found it very inspiring, although I wonder if it is slightly exaggerated. It is mostly accounts of applying the technique and miraculous outcomes Craniosacral has on patients. If everything is true in this book, I wonder why I don’t hear more about the technique. I still give it 5 stars because I do believe that it is potentially all true and that much of it definitely is. It was very educational and inspiring.

Fascinating, fascinating, fascinating. Miraculous, hopeful, scientific, intuitive.
Specific, gentle external non-surgical manipulation of the bony plates and tissue from the skull down the spine to the sacrum resulting in resolution of chronic distresses such as TMJ, joint an bone issues from accidents, life incident trauma, as chronicled by Dr. John Upledger, pioneer of this method.

2.5 ⭐️ for style - not so much content.

Because I want MORE content - I want to understand CST better.

I understand it has its detractors.
And they’re acknowledged glancingly here.
But I wish Upledger addressed the criticisms more explicitly.
Because I want to get it better.
I feel a difference after CST - I feel it more each day since my first visit.
I just don’t know how to explain it to others in a clinical, verifiable way

Recommended by an OT friend who had done training for cranioSacral therapy. She did a session on me for practice. I don't know that I felt much. I would like to try more. This book explains the theory and gives many examples of how this type of therapy can help people with various problems from headaches to epilepsy... It's more a book of examples than a theoretical textbook, so it's OK for us laymen.
