I'm interested in what they call craniosacral massage.

Although I am not a CMT, I believe this is one of the techniques developed by Sutherland a DO in the 50's. He was one of the first people to view the body as machine with all the parts interconnected. Tension or loss of tissue mobility in one area can have major affects in other areas of the body. His ideas were not accepted back then but now are widely supported. He is listed as one of the originators of a lot of manual techniques. I believe craniosacral massage is just a sequence of light strokes done rhythmically from head to sacral (low back/buttocks) area. Supposed to do something to the cerebral spinal fluid??? Guess I better look this one up, if I choose to take the exam. I don't think saying its a massage technique that does something is going to cut it

Thanks Soliaree
