  • 69 Accesses

Abstract

During the past five years the Department of Biomechanics (MSU-COM) has been supporting research which relates to the Cranio-Sacral System/Cranio-Sacral Rhythm. The principal investigators are Ernest W. Retzlaff, Ph.D., M.P.H., and John E. Upledger, D.O., F.A.A.O. The research has been directed at both relevant basic anatomico-physiologic mechanisms and the clinical applications/significance of this system.
