I am a Cranio pracitioner ... and this video is limiting down all the CST to a very mechanical point of view. This is like 1% of CST and therefore of not much help.

This is a 2 min clip of a 90 minute DVD, of course its just a small part of Cranial work...

This is one of the worst presentations of CST Ive ever seen. It was uninformative and clearly performed by an extreme novice. Anyone considering buying it, dont!

This is just a short clip from the middle of a 90 minute dvd. I thought the description of the sphenoid bone and its movement was great! Mary's showing the hand position was clear, and her 30 years of experience can not really be described as "extreme novice".

I have a friend who is a certified massage therapist that took a course in CST and practices the technique at an exclusive day spa. I know it sounds crazy, but she can find which areas of your body are in pain without even telling her-just by touch. Her clients say it helps, I know she has relieved some of my own chronic pain using it. Remember that before we had drugs, medicine involved using these types of techniques. It is questionable I will admit, but don't knock it until you try it.

Being objective, the american school of osteopathy has demanded that CST be struck off the ciriculum. The whole basis of CST is false, there is no CSR and the bones in the skull do not move. There is no proven intra-related reliability and the therapy is only as good as the placebo effect and sense of goodness that it can delivery. Practisioners have a confirmation bias that what they do is correct them really it is quakery. David

@zizwop

My keyboard is broken

I was tinking tat you implied tat all drugs were invented in te last 150 years

[zizwop]

@VicariousReality7 I'm really not sure what you're saying, wat, deinition o -those are not words-what is your definition of words? Society has not always had things like antibiotics, penicillin or hydrocodone. What's important for this video is hydrocodone(Vicodin) to manage pain. So, 150 years ago, a doctor didn't just write you up a prescription for pain killers-cause they didn't have them. Most likely you just got drunk.

@zizwop

We ave always ad drugs

Or wat is your deinition o drugs

Has anyone here ever looked at a skull? Not an animation, BTW, I mean an actual, human skull, without without all the squishy parts. Has anybody picked up a skull and got the heft of it? Flexible, isn't it? Please, I implore any visitors to this page to pick up a skull and give it a look over. Turn it over in your hands, give it a squeeze in various places and see how it responds to pressure. I think you'll find the experience quite surprising. (I didn't, to be fair, but I think you will)

@kitefrog mentions a report which can be easily found using Google Scholar. It's worth reading. However to discredit the modality as a whole, when so many have seen such drastic results, would be a very blind thing for us to do. The "placebo" effect still has yet to be able to describe some of it's amazing results. Maybe we shouldn't disregard "placebo" as quackery, if there is indeed something to it? To all viewers: 1) do your own research 2) read more than one article

@kitefrog Prove that the cranial bones don't move. Or are you just parroting what you've been taught in school? Were motion not inherent, there would be no need for sutures and their varying joins/shapes. Embryologically, the sphenoid bone is starts in 8 pieces, yet the ossify into one. Why not ossify to the rest of the head?

Your "conventional" wisdom is struck down by a simple undestanding of anatomy and mechanics.

[scubareece]

its about the cranial fluid flowing between the bones and junctions of the scull (so ive herd)

[BackInsight]

Where is the science? science? science!!. Mainstream science has kept half of all natural physio psycho advancements from moving forward. Science is another "group think" that is fundamentally a flawed system. Your science has taken all the self improvement from the very powerful "individual." Bite me.

[SandThruFingers]

@kitefrog you are dead wrong. Unless you learn the technique/methodology and empirically apply it in practicum however, you will remain in ignorance. This phenomena will not be easily proved by the scientific method, however it is easily proven to someone who can still their mind and apply the techniques in an empirical manner. If done so, one will personally palpate the listed phenomena and it will be much harder to accept as 'quackery'.
