The medical persons who practice cranial sacral release are trained osteopaths. I've encountered one once in my entire life.

Cranial sacral release. Thank you. Any trained person can do it. It is taught at an institute run by the guy that developed it. It might be the Levington Institute. I can check the name with my PT. He decided it was so important that he didn't patent it but rather choose to make his money teaching it. I just called her and got the answering machine so I'll post the name when I get it.

Did you have it done and if so, what did you think?

When I had cranial sacral release performed on me it was done by a Physical Therapist who had worked on me for years. She was trained in that practice at the Upledger Institute. Upledger is the name of the man who developed that technique and thought it was so valuable that he didn't patent it but rather choose to open an Institute to teach it to any and all medical practitioners who wanted to use it. I would ask anyone wanting to do that to me if they indeed had been to the Upledger Institute or had learned from someone else. If they hadn't been there I would decline the service. You say you had it done, what did you think of it? I thought it was great.

I have also had some wonderful massage therapists who are trained in cranial sacral release.
