History

W. G. Sutherland (USA) discovered in the 1920s that the cranium bones make rhythmical movements, which continue to the sacrum. He developed techniques with which he influence this system. He was always talking about "Inner breath". Today we called his work cranial osteopathy.

Since this time also other people around the world get experience about any movement of the cranial bones.

Dr. J. E. Upledger (USA) found out in the beginning of the 1970s that there are rhythmical movements in the dura mater spinalis (cerebral membrances). This happen during an operation at the spinal colum, he observe a slowly, rhythmical movement of dura mater spinalis. He was so fascinated that he start a big project to discover this pulse. In the next 10 years together with some other specialist, he developed the craniosacral concept, the craniosacral therapy and the programme for instructions.

Since the earliest 1980s the work spread out around the world. Because of the good success, the craniosacral therapy gets very famous and common. Since 1990 the craniosacral therapy find his way to Germany.
