I am really enjoying this book. John E. Upledger history fo cranio Sacral and some discovery and client imporvements. What he had found between the diffrent between Autistic and schizophrenic.
In the Autistic children, thier dural membranes lack the elasticity neede to accommodate fluctuation in the fluid volume and pressure in their craniosacral systems. While schizophrenic children there was not enough inferent energy within the craniscaral system to create teh rhythmical skull-bone motion.

Reading this because my neighbor Allyson recommended it and because it has almost nothing to do with parenting. :) Extremely interesting thus far!! Over my head...gave up when Jane's hearing improved and I was under-motivated to spend $ on a cranio-sacral doctor who doesn't take insurance. :)

This book is full of fascinating case studies demonstrating how craniosacral work can help a variety of circumstances. Dr. John writes in an engaging way that made me eager for more. I look forward to reading more of his work.
