  4  

  5         WHEREAS, craniosacral therapy was pioneered and

  6  developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger at

  7  Michigan State University, and

  8         WHEREAS, craniosacral therapy is a gentle method of

  9  manually evaluating and normalizing the environment of the

10  membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect

11  the brain and spinal cord, and

12         WHEREAS, restrictions or imbalances in the craniosacral

13  system may directly affect all aspects of the central nervous

14  system, and

15         WHEREAS, these problems can be detected and corrected

16  by a skilled therapist using simple methods of palpation to

17  improve the performance of the central nervous system, and

18         WHEREAS, by complementing the body's natural healing

19  processes, craniosacral therapy is increasingly used as a

20  preventive health measure for its ability to bolster

21  resistance to disease and to address a wide range of medical

22  problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including

23  migraine headaches, chronic neck and back pain, learning

24  disabilities, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic fatigue,

25  scoliosis, infantile disorders, motor coordination

26  impairments, and other problems, and

27         WHEREAS, the Legislature recognizes craniosacral

28  therapy for its use as a preventive health measure, NOW,

29  THEREFORE,
