I have done a Feldenkrais Training and received Cranio-sacral from an Osteopath colleague as an exchange. I found that the pressures he used had a whole system effect, and that he took me into patterns via my skull, through my whole structure. In some ways it reminded me of some Functional Integration processes we use. The most common start point in Feldenkrais FI is taking the person into their pattern, with support. This can cause a deep physiological shift. I have also referred clients for cranio sacral, most have reported early stage changes, but later stage failure. I also practice NLP, and strongly associate with the belief theory. I have worked with clients who have trauma patterns locked kinesthetically, into their physical memory system.Their pain settles once they release the event. My own concerns with Cranio-sacral, is that it is very much a hands on power of the therapist to perfom the technique. I also dont here much about follow on, ie how the person can maintain the change, and what the practitioner did that made the difference. When I asked my Osteopath friend what he did, I was given an enigmatic smile. Do cranio-sacrla therapists know what they are doing?
