Hi ,

Hehe.. well, I spelled Tinnitus wrong.. my fingers wanted to type -itis

like other " itis " words.

Those who practice cranial osteopathy often use that as their main

treatment modality.. maybe she meant that the work on the cranium and the

sacrum isn't all that is done.

Yes, the " cranio-sacral therapy " and cranial osteopathy treatments feel

very similar, yet there are big differences. I got very little results from

cranio-sacral therapy but dramatic results from cranial osteopathy, and I

went to several different practitioners of each. Although I do know people

who get good results with cranio-sacral. And it's usually easier to find

cranio-sacral practitioners.

>Sorry for associating these too closely - I'm just a layman.

No prob! I'm not a practitioner either, but have had more experience with

them than I wish I had to!

Cranial-sacral therapy is basically a bogus offshoot of cranial osteopathy.

The requirements of learning for it are minimal, the skill required to

practice it are minimal, and its applications are minimal.

A WAPF-friendly osteopath who practices cranial osteopathy told me he's also

fixed people who have been damaged by careless cranial-sacral therapy.

Me, too. I didn't notice anything from the cranio-sacral treatments,

but I did notive BIG results from the cranial osteopathy. I went to

a cranio-sacral practioner a few years ago for one treatment and then

have been an " on again/off again " study subject for my ex-DH, so

that's really all the experience I have with cranio-sacral

treatments. Probably not enought to assess it fairly.
