Osteopaths: Cranial sacral therapy (cst) can be a powerful tool for healing but requires skill and gentle precision. The most effective practitioners of cst are licensed medical doctors who have been trained in osteopathy, which i believe is considered equivalent to an md in most states. In fact, many of the faculty at medical schools are osteopaths. Cst requires touch and sensitivity so get references.

Cranial Academy: "craniosacral" therapy is actually an adaptation of cranial osteopathy -- it was developed by osteopathic physician dr. John upledger, and this is what many non-physician craniosacral therapists do. http://www.upledger.com/ the osteopathic cranial academy trains physicians to do the original work developed by dr. Sutherland. Many are do's, and some are md's. http://www.cranialacademy.org/.
