Samenvatting:

**Craniosacral Therapy** by John E. Upledger and Jon D. Vredevoogd is considered one of the foundational texts on craniosacral therapy and remains a key reference within the field. In this comprehensive and extensively illustrated work, the authors present the anatomy, physiology and clinical application of the craniosacral system, exploring the relationships between the skull, spinal membranes, cerebrospinal fluid and connective tissues throughout the body. The book provides a detailed introduction to the theoretical principles underlying craniosacral therapy while also serving as a practical manual for assessment and treatment. Upledger and Vredevoogd explain how practitioners can identify subtle restrictions and imbalances within the craniosacral system through careful observation and palpation. Step-by-step descriptions of examination procedures and therapeutic techniques are accompanied by numerous illustrations, making complex concepts accessible to both students and experienced practitioners. Combining anatomical knowledge, clinical experience and hands-on instruction, *Craniosacral Therapy* has become a classic resource for therapists interested in manual medicine, osteopathy and complementary healthcare approaches. Its clear explanations and practical focus make it valuable for professionals seeking a deeper understanding of craniosacral techniques and their application in clinical practice.
