Description

By John E Upledger

The first chapter looks at the cranial nerves and how they can be effectively influenced by craniosacral therapy. In the second chapter, the author, through words and pictures, dissects the fascial anatomy of the neck from the perspective of the craniosacral system. Chapter 3 scrutinises the temporomandibular joint and TMJ syndrome. The final chapter focuses on those concepts and discoveries which have unfolded in Dr. Upledger’s clinical practice since the publication of his first book.

Rounding out this volume is an extensive glossary of technical terms and concepts related to the theory and practice of craniosacral therapy.

“My goal . . . is to pique the reader’s curiosity, and perhaps widen your vision, so that the depth of your comprehension of the wonders of the human organism may increase, as mine has.”  (From the Preface)

Reviews
