Cranial Osteopathy/Cranio-Sacral Therapy

I stayed at the college I trained at for 2 years because my course lasted for 2 years. I studied craniosacral therapy at the College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy.

Craniosacral therapy works with the cranium, sacrum, pelvis, feet, diaphragm and other places within the body where restrictions are discovered during the course of treatment. This does not mean at all that it is not craniosacral therapy just because a practitioner chooses to work at places other than the cranium and sacrum. It is a whole person treatment and most practitioners work in this way. You are not restricted to the cranium and sacrum at all.

All becomes painfully, painfully clear.

Oh yes it does. Talk about denial. Craniosacral --- to do with the cranium and sacrum, ok? Isn't there enough confusion in New Age speak without having craniosacral therapy which focuses on the feet?

If a therapy is a "whole person treatment", shouldn't it have a name which reflects that? Something like "another of those 'holistic' (TM) junk therapies"? I'm sure you could cut that down a bit and put it into Latin, and it would pull in the marks just as well. C'mon, I'm not asking you to give up your little scam. I'm just asking you to end your motiveless assault on the English language.

Define the term "restrictions".

-What exactly are these "restrictions"?

-What, specifically, are they made of?

-How does one determine their location in the body?

-Can they be measured, identified, located by any type of mechanical/electronic clinical equipment?

-Can different craniosacral examiners reliably, and repeatedly locate these "restrictions" in an individual under examination?

-Is there a single scrap of reliable, non-anecdotal scientific evidence which supports the theory that these "restrictions" are something other than figments of the examiner's imagination?

This is how it usually goes in the land of 'make it up as you go along'. They start off with basic claims like- the cranio-sacral system has it's own unique pulse, and then they throw in a half-baked mistaken notion about the skull sutures not being fused, and then they start running with scissors because there's no one around to tell them to stop...

Before you know it, they're rubbing your feet, and sweet talking your thymus, and clearing your "energy blockages", and bombarding you with dolphin energy, and insisting they can cure your cancer, yada, yada, yada...

It's like they say...

"Imagination, like fire, makes a wonderful servant, but a terrible master."
 
Sarah-I,

How does the CS 'thereapist' log or record measurements of the 'patient's' condition for future reference (patient log or journal) or further visists to the 'therapist'? How is it handled if one 'therapist' needs to sub for another? How do they exchange data on the 'patient's' condition, in partcular if the 'patient' isn't present?

And I'd also like to know what these 'blockages' are, what they 'block' and how it is determined whether there is a 'blockage' or whether it has been 'freed'.

Thank you.
