CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY NOW RECOGNIZED

In their series on "Innovators," Time Magazine recognized the work of Dr. John Upledger. While involved in a spinal operation, Dr. Upledger noticed a pulse along the spine, where none should have existed. He later determined that the pulse was in the cerebrospinal fluid itself. He then theorized that this life force was important to health and that its blockage could create illness. He developed a form of treatment using slight hand pressure on the patient's body that has become known as craniosacral therapy. Although many doctors are still skeptical about it, craniosacral therapy has been found useful in many pain-control and physical rehabilitation situations.
