I was forwarded this open letter from Cranio
Suisse® who have launched an initiative to
encourage communication between different schools
and therapists which, as you know, I am all for.
Their website is not in English so that limits
the imitative immediately but other than that I
think it’s great.
If you want to read their site in English you
can run it through Google translate.

You need to scroll to the bottom of the page and

*International Networking for the Advancement of
Craniosacral Therapy*
Dear collegues,
All the schools and therapists for Craniosacral
Therapy in Switzerland have organized themselves
in a new association – Cranio Suisse®. We are now
number two among the associations for
complementary therapies. The goal of this
organization is to bring together all the
different approaches of Craniosacral Therapy
within Switzerland and to guarantee a good quality
of schools and therapists. Cranio Suisse® is the
official representative of Craniosacral Therapy
towards governmental institutions and health
insurance companies. In short, Cranio Suisse® is
supporting and promoting Craniosacral Therapy
within in the Swiss Health System.
Furthermore the association acts as connecting
link between patients and therapists. You will
find more details under http://www.craniosuisse.ch/
This year Cranio Suisse® established a new *study
group for international contacts and research*. My
task within this group is to establish contacts
with associations/schools all over the world, thus
building the basis for an efficient networking
beneficial to all of us.
I should therefore be very grateful if you could
let me know whether you are interested in such an
exchange of thoughts and knowledge.
We would suggest the following procedure:
*Step 1*: We put together a list of all
associations/schools interested in putting up a
Craniosacral “Knowledge Network”.
*Step 2*: Evaluation of the importance and
positioning of Craniosacral Therapy within the
health system of each country (questionnaire). The
final goal will be to exchange research reports
and study designs or even realize common research
projects to get more and broader evidence based
facts about Craniosacral Therapy.
Are you interested in such a project and if yes,
do you agree with the proposed procedure or do you
have different suggestions?
We are convinced that an exchange of knowledge
like this would create positive synergies for all
of us, whether it be with regard to the handling
of public health aspects for complementary
therapies in general or strengthening the position
of Craniosacral Therapy specifically.
We are looking forward to your feedback. If you
feel that there is some other institution, school
or person who could be interested in the above
project, please let us know.
Thank you for giving our ideas a friendly,
constructive thought.
With best regards
