Guest guest Posted July 8, 2002 Report Share Posted July 8, 2002 Sure: Cranial Sacral therapy is a type of " massage " that releases certain restrictions of the cerebral-spinal fluid. You can look up more info on upledger.com (upledger is the school in Florida). Cranial Osteopath is an MD with a specialty in Osteopathy and is trained specifically in the head and skull and how it works. Our osteopath actually moves the bones in her skull (gently, a little at a time), and I attribute his gifted hands to the fact that her head shaped up so quickly. In fact, CT said that her forhead bossing might not go away - some cases are tough to move, especially if they are in-utero. BUT my Rhia's forehead looks GREAT - in fact, we just saw a little " nonplagio " boy whose forehead was more uneven than Rhia's! Good luck! > > > How far does everyone drive to their appts?
