Great to have for patients or clients
I purchased this for an easy to read resource for people I treat with CST.

Contributions of Thought

2 reviews, 1990

A must read for serious students
If you have read other Sutherland than you should take the plunge and add this one to your library (if you can find a copy.) It significantly rounds out many of the underlying themes of his more structured works and give additional insight into many of his most important ideas.

Wisdom in the body, Michael Kern
Book Review Wisdom in the body. The Craniosacral approach to Essential Health. Michael Kern I love this book. It is my all time favorite cranial text book. It is a strait forward introduction to Cranio-sacral work. It reads well, the concepts are in a logical way laid out and discussed. Kern is extremely knowledgeable about the subject. He has a unique gift in translating complex subject ...

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy: Volume One

Michael J. Shea

North Atlantic Books, 2007

Definitely worth owning
I've been involved in alternative health since my early 20's and have read and studied extensively in body and energy work, nutrition, and numerous forms of healing, far too many to mention. I gravitate naturally to energy work and have been very interested in the visionary aspects of cranial therapy ever since reading the books of Milne, Gilchrist, and Sills. Dr. Shea's book easily holds ...

Craniosacral Therapy and the Energetic Body: An Overview of Craniosacral Biodynamics

Roger Gilchrist

North Atlantic Books, 2006

Complex made simple
I have just graduated from a two year training in biodynamic craniaosacral therapy and just got Rodger's book at the end of the course.I wish I would have had it sooner. He really brings a clarity and simplicity to some very intricate and subtle concepts. He also clearly differentiates between the styles and history of this relatively new therapy. I would recommend it to anyone who practices, ...

John E. Upledger

North Atlantic Books, 2005

Amazing stories, great intro by Dr. Upledger
This is the second copy of this book that I purchased for a friend considering Craniosacral Therapy. The short stories of actual experiences of practioners done in the 'Chicken Soup' style of a few pages per story is great. Reading it is much like eating peanuts, you do not want to stop!!

Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff

16 reviews
Jim Johnson

Dog Ear Publishing, LLC, 2007

Well, it worked
I hurt my rotator cuffs doing some bag work. I waited a long time (I'm a guy) to go into an ortho. He gave me the advice to work on my posture, lose weight and a photocopy of some exercises to do. Told me that how I injured myself didn't matter, fixing it was what counted. Well, posture and losing weight solved that problem. Had a completely different feeling problem. Went back after ...

Craniosacral Biodynamics, Volume 2

6 reviews
Franklyn Sills

North Atlantic Books, 2004

A real gem
I love this book and the way Franklyn Sills expresses the osteopathetic and craniosacral principles with holographic theory and trauma skills. He very effectively interweaves models and principles associated with the Breath of Life and new models of working with shock and trauma. The emphasis on the fluids and fluid tides brings a balance to the more structurally oriented craniosacral texts. I ...

A Brain Is Born: Exploring the Birth and Development of the Central Nervous System

4 reviews
John E. Upledger

North Atlantic Books, 1996

Excellent book for prospective and curious parents!
I found this book to be an excellent source of information valuable to all parents interested in the brain function of their children. Dr. Upledger has a way of taking complicated subjects and making them understandable to non medical people like myself. I found the cartoon drawings very helpful in bringing humor and easing what could be overwhelming or "scary" medical information.

Your Inner Physician and You

20 reviews
John E. Upledger

North Atlantic Books, 1997

Incredible book
This book is absolutly incredible. It had me drawn in from page one. Dr. Upldeger writes in a way that is fun, easy to understand and intreguing. It opened a whole new world to me. There are a few ideas that seemed a little "out there" but as I took one of the upledger classes and as I've used Craniosacral Therapy in my practice I have seen that the body has no limits...and anything is possible. ...

Craniosacral Therapy II: Beyond the Dura

2 reviews
John E. Upledger

Eastland Press, 1987

Not a simple read!
This book is not so much a book on Craniosacral therapy technique as an indepth anatomy textbook. Upledger explores in great detail each of the cranial nerves, the structure of the neck (focusing much attention on the hyoid bone), and the TMJ. He uses medical terminology and an information-dense writing style. Fortunately, there are well labeled diagrams on nearly every page to correspond with ...

Craniosacral Therapy for Babies and Small Children

5 reviews
Etienne Peirsman, Neeto Peirsman

North Atlantic Books, 2006

Infants are conscious too?
This is just a really nice book, solidly in the tradition of, "YOUR INNER PHYSCIAN AND YOU". It's written in a soft, intimate yet delightful one-on-one voice much like Viola Fryman, DO, or even better, a Children's Story book, and oozes with sensitivity. I would recommend for anyone who has performed CranioSacral for Pediatrics, and especially, for any worried mothers in the USA or Abroad ...

Stillness: Biodynamic Cranial Practice and the Evolution of Consciousness

5 reviews
Charles Ridley

North Atlantic Books, 2006

rest in what is
This isn't your bio-cranio-dynamic toolbox; it is, instead, a profound and precisely nuanced exploration of the feel of consciousness as it traverses the tissue we know as the body. No hammers, saws, intentions, suggestions, or directed energy; here the practitioner is invited to rest in what is, without desires or expectations. If this intrigues you, this is the book for you.

An Introduction to Craniosacral Therapy: Anatomy, Function, and Treatment

6 reviews
Don Cohen

North Atlantic Books, 1996

Great help
I'm in a class for Cranial/Sacral with a teacher who isn't very good at teaching. Frustrated with the lack of materials, a general disorderly method of giving what he does know, and his very slim instruction in palpation, I began a search for a book to help me get what I wanted. This book is fantastic! It clearly lays out the 10 step protocol and gives great tips for discovering the rhythm ...

Craniosacral Therapy

John E. Upledger, Jon Vredevoogd

Eastland Press, 1983

Great Textbook!
I am currently a massage therapy student, and we have energy-based modalities this term. Cranial Sacral Therapy was one of the modalities covered. This book, co-authored by the founder of the Cranial Sacral Therapy system, really helped clear things up for me, and I got a 96 on my final.

The Heart of Listening

Hugh Milne

North Atlantic Books, 1998

hmmmm..........
It is interesting to see such divergent opinions and ratings regarding this book. Does it mean that a person looking for texts on craniosacral therapy should accept the average rating for this book to mean that it is middle of the road? Hmmm....I don't think so. For the person seeking out help with their healing process, craniosacral work is only as valuable as the consciousness of the ...

Somato Emotional Release

1 review
John E. Upledger

North Atlantic Books, 2002

Reads like Nonfiction
Useful for the layman, incredibly useful for anyone seriously considering the study of whole body emotional release work of any school or approach. Also required reading for anyone working with Dolphin Assited Therapy(DAT) in the Upledger school. The older book, "SomatoEmotional Release and Beyond" by Dr. John E. Upledger, DO, FAAO, DSc, originally a hard cover text for students, now has a ...

Atlas of Manipulative Techniques for the Cranium & Face

3 reviews
Alain Gehin

Eastland Press, 1985

fantastic visuals of the applied forces to cranial technique
This Atlas of Cranial techniques goes a long way to visually orient the practitioner to specific techniques applied to the cranium. Each layout is a detailed description of the applied technique, while the visual application is beautifully rendered on the opposing side. This is a must for anyone interested in expanding their approach to the patient with cranial techniques.
