The Art of Craniosacral Therapy
Cranial Osteopathy was originated by the Osteopathic physician, William Garner Sutherland D.O. (1873-1954). His 54 year epic journey began when, through Divine Providence he notice that the cranial sutures of the temporal bones were "beveled like the gills of a fish" indicating the ability for movement with the parietal bones, allowing for expansion and contraction. His conversations about this discovery with his mentor Dr. Andrew Stills, the founder of the osteopathic school in Missouri was supported. Both men believed the system was "designed to breath". He called this breathing movement the primary respiratory mechanism. This idea that the bones of the skull could move was contrary to contemporary anatomical belief, then and today by some scientist and medical practitioners. Dr. Sutherland was a deeply spiritual man and later described its origin as the Breath of Life from the Book of Genesis 2:7. This was an acknowledgement of the vital force as a as a fundamental aspect of osteopathic philosophy.
There are three approaches that have evolved since Dr. William Garner Sutherland first began investigating the semi-closed hydraulic system of the cranial system, which is comprised of the spine, the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, fascia of the body and movement of Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) through the spinal cord. They are called the mechanical, functional and biodynamic models. Each refers to the amount of intervention of the practitioner. Dr. Sutherland s' own journey moved from intervention of the mechanical model to the softness of the listening approach of the biodynamic model. My studies also began in the mechanical model which motions tests, and has moved to the biodynamic approach.
Sutherland began to teach this work to other osteopaths from about the 1930s until his death in 1954. His work was at first largely rejected by the mainstream osteopathic profession. It challenged the closely held beliefs among practitioners. Obviously, this happens throughout any discipline that is practiced on the planet. Great thought is often challenged by a more mediocre mind. Craniosacral Therapy comes under attack and even ridicule because at this time those who disbelief in its authenticity and value offer no scientific support for this powerful model of healing. I find this laughable. Dr. Rollin Becker, DO was one of Dr. Sutherland's accomplished proteges. He gave up his standard model of Osteopathic practice after 20 years to spend his last 35 years of practice performing craniosacral therapy because of its efficacy! Dr. Sutherland practice it for 54 years! Dr. James Jealous, the leading proponent of the Biodynamic approach to this healing modality, has been practicing successfully for 45 years! In my own practice I have clients who have suffered from debilitating migraine headaches for decades and find lasting relief! TMJ patients in excruciating pain become pain free in just a few sessions. I could continue to support this findings with many testimonials.

TMJ patients in excruciating pain become pain free in just a few sessions. I could continue to support this findings with many testimonials. Dr. John Upledger's institute has trained over 100,000 people to date and there would be a legion of testimonies to the efficacy of the work. The same disbelievers of this work who are searching for scientific validation can only throw drugs at the problem and the people who finally come to Craniosacral Therapy do so because the "proven methods" have given them no relief! And,often times the side effects of the prescribed drugs are impossible to live with. Again, I am not asking anyone to "throw out the baby with the bath water" and give up medical treatment, I am only suggesting that one find out for themselves if alternative and complimentary approaches to health and healing prove valuable. I can assure you of this, I have made a wonderful living, without the benefit of third party insurance because it works. Science doesn't understand totally the mechanisms for homeostatic response. There was a time when scientist believed the Earth was flat. Shamans have been using unsubstantiated methods for thousands of years. My practice has survived well based on word of mouth and you can go to the testimonial section on this website to document the value of the work! Just think Copernicus and Galileo!
Towards the end of his life Sutherland believed that he began to sense a "power" which generated homeostatic responses within the clients' bodies without any influence of the therapist, except reflection through witnessing. This discovery changed his entire treatment focus to one of spiritual reverence and subtle touch. He told his students to touch without touching. To be still and know. This
