Abstract
Cranio sacral therapy is a refinend and subtle type of osteopathic treatment that encourages the realease of stresses and tentions throughout the body, including the head. Cranio sacral therapy is trained to feel a very subtle, rhythmical shape change that is present in all tissue. This is called Involuntary Motion or Cranial Rhythm. The movement is of very small amplitude therefore it takes practitioners with a very finely developed sense of touch to feel it. This Rhythm was first described in the early 1900's by Dr. William G. Sutherland and its existence was confirmed in laboratory tests in the 1960's and 1970's. Tension in the body disrupts the cranial rhythm. This shows them what stresses and strains your body is under a present and what tentions it may be carrying as a result of its past history.
