Holistic Health Center of Cincinnati

Dr. John Upledger, an osteopathic physician, developed this approach in the late 1970's. Crani0Sacral Therapy focuses initially on the membranes encasing the brain and spinal cord. The cranial rhythmic impulse is difficult to measure with equipment, but experienced practitioners can sense it by touch. Disturbances in the flow of cranial fluid are said to reflect pressure on the cranial bones as well as injuries or lesions in the body. These imbalances can be eased by delicate manipulation of the cranial and spinal bones and the soft tissues of the body. This powerful method helps boost blood circulation and assist lymphatic drainage. CranioSacral Therapy affects the connective tissue linking all the organs, bones, and muscles of the body. The aim of treatment is to ensure an even, rhythmic flow of the cranial rhythmic impulse. The result of treatment can be a reduction of both acute and chronic physical pain, and a deep sense of rest and comfort, similar to the calm which comes from quiet introspection or meditation.
