Book Description

093961605X 978-0939616053 June 1987 1
Craniosacral Therapy II: Beyond the Dura marks yet another step in understanding the craniosacral system and its significance in the clinic. Building on concepts set forth in his pioneering work Cranioscacral Therapy, Dr. Upledger further explores the anatomical and physiological bases and clinical implications of several important aspects of the craniosacral system.

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 scrutinizes 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a simple read!, May 7, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Craniosacral Therapy II: Beyond the Dura (Hardcover)
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.

This review is from: Craniosacral Therapy II: Beyond the Dura (Hardcover)
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 review is from: Craniosacral Therapy II: Beyond the Dura (Hardcover)
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......
