This book is another step towards understanding the craniosacral system and its significance in the clinic, exploring 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 are effected by craniosacral therapy. The second chapter dissects the fascial anatomy of the neck from the perspective of the craniosacral system. Chapter three scrutinises the temporomandibular joint and the TMJ syndrome, while the final chapter focuses on the concepts and discoveries which have unfolded in Upledger’s clinical practice since publication of his first book. An extensive glossary of technical terms and concepts related to the theory and practice of craniosacral therapy rounds out this book.
