Craniosacral Therapy II: Beyond the Dura

I needed this text book for an upcoming seminar. I decided to order a used book from a third party, and also help out the Goodwill corporation, and recycle reasons. I ordered it two weeks in advance. Of course I was concerned on how long it would take coming from CA because I still had to read one chapter. To my suprise I received it in three days. I am very pleased and I want to thank you ahead of time for my future services......

I purchased this book used, and it came in excellent shape. I e-mailed seller and got a prompt reply within the hour. Seller followed through with shipping and it arrived when he said it would.

This book is full of good information for a therapist who uses CranioSacral Therapy, but it is very difficult to read. I tried reading a little every day, but I couldn't finish the book. It was too technical for me. I highly recommend the Upledger CranioSacral Therapy workshops, though.

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 the text and illustrate what is being discussed. I found several useful pieces of information to improve the use of Craniosacral therapy with my clients, but I had to search to find these pieces. This is a book I will have to read over and over--not necessarily because I enjoyed the book, but because it has so much information it is difficult to absorb in one reading. I recommend the book if Craniosacral work is a significant part of your bodywork practice and you need more information for working in clinical situations. Be warned! It is not a book you can just keep on your shelf and pull out to quickly look something up in the middle of a therapy session. It is a book to be studied.
