CranioSacral Therapy (CST, cranial balancing, cranial osteopathy, cranial sacral manipulation, cranial technique, cranial work, craniopathy, craniosacral balancing, Craniosacral Osteopathy, Cranio-Sacral work): Method whose goal is to remove impediments to a patient's energy. It involves manually aligning skull bones. Dr. William Garner Sutherland, a student of the founder of osteopathy, developed cranial osteopathy in the early 1900s.

According to its theory, movements of the skull bones cause movements of the sacrum and vice versa. John E. Upledger, D.O., developed CranioSacral Therapy, a derivative of Sutherland's work.

There are different techniques applied to the musculoskeletal system. These techniques can be applied to: (1) The joints (using High Velocity Technique, mobilization, etc.) (2) Their surrounding soft tissues (using functional and soft tissue techniques, etc.) (3) The muscles (4) The fascia.

These are the eight major principles of osteopathy and are widely accepted throughout the osteopathic community. They are taken from the curriculum of the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine. (1) The body is a unit. (2) Structure and function are reciprocally inter-related. (3) The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms. (4) The body has the inherent capacity to defend and repair itself. (5) When the normal adaptability is disrupted, or when environmental changes overcome the body’s capacity for self maintenance, disease may ensue. (6) The mov ...

Osteopathic practice started just before the chiropractic movement in the Midwest of the United States in the nineteenth century. Early in the twentieth century, the American osteopathic profession adopted the use of medicine and surgery, whereas chiropractors continue to use strictly manipulative techniques. Outside of the US, particularly in the United Kingdom, osteopaths tended to stay closer to their traditional approach. Osteopathy was founded by Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., D.O., who was born in 1828 in Virginia. Dr. A.T. Still was train ...

There are two main schools of thought within the osteopathic world. They are so different in practice as to be separate professions, but there have been attempts in the last few years to enhance exchange and dialogue between them. In the United States osteopathic medicine is practiced by those holding a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (D.O.).
