How Did CranioSacral Therapy Begin?
CranioSacral Therapy was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger who served from 1975-1983 as a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics at the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University. It was during those years that his team of anatomists, physiologists, biophysicists, and bioengineers was tasked with performing experiments to test the existence and influence of the craniosacral system. The results of those scientific studies explained the function of the craniosacral system, and its use in evaluating and treating poorly understood malfunctions of the brain and spinal cord. Dr. Upledger went on to develop CranioSacral Therapy and other complementary modalities that are now taught worldwide to healthcare professionals through the Upledger Institute International’s educational programs. – The Upledger Institute

CST is a gentle, hands-on method using a soft touch, generally no greater than 5 grams, to release restrictions in the craniosacral system. CST has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more.
