Just as a cardiologist seeks to improve the cardiovascular system, a craniosacral practitioner evaluates and optimizes the pulse of the craniosacral rhythm. This is a gentle, often deeply intuitive technique. A visionary and pioneer, sensing the far-reaching spiritual implications of his findings, he developed a treatment method making him the grandfather of cranial osteopathy.

Then John Upledger, D. Last year, the Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America, which has a sister organization in Europe, was set up with headquarters in Canada. Still a new kid on the block when compared to other medical modalities like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, craniosacral therapy with its many schools and forms is now one of the fastest growing practices in alternative medicine. Hundreds of massage therapists are being trained, while many psychotherapists, acupuncturists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, dentists and medical doctors are adding it to their list of tools.

On a surface level, the practitioner works with the bones of the skull and the pelvis. This affects, in turn, the deeper layers of membranes and cerebrospinal fluids in the spinal canal, the brain, and the spinal cord itself.

Why is this important? A pulse through the fluids proceeds through the entire craniosacral system, like a tidal wave, from the sutures in the skull to the spinal cord. Cycling about six to ten times a minute, it causes tiny movements measuring no more than one-or two-sixteenths of an inch. Upledger, noting how all the components work together to regulate the pressure of these fluids on the brain. When the membranes and lubricating liquids lose their freedom to glide freely, we hurt and symptoms start.

Any infraction causing nerve endings to alter their perception and signals can negatively affect our entire well-being. Craniosacral therapy helps the body to re-establish an unobstructed wave, which is how symptoms disappear. In the tiny movements of the system, and in the still points in between, is consciousness. The body tells the therapist what needs to be done. Thus, craniosacral work is based on a shamanistic and meditative approach as well as on physiological facts, making it doubly powerful.

Upledger says. For the hands-on work to be most effective, you should wear loose, thin clothing. By quietly resting the hands on your skull and sacrum, the therapist evaluates your craniosacral rhythms.

This in itself can create a shift in energy. No instruments or devices are used. In sessions lasting 45 — 60 minutes, clients and therapists work closely together. You might feel a quieting down, a sinking in, and a deeper awareness. The whole idea is that the practitioner works with such gentleness and. Upledger notes. A session can be described as a physically connected meditation, in which hidden information in the craniosacral system reveals itself. Healing then can occur via the corrective mechanism known as the still point, the spontaneous quiet between waves.

Typically, you have one every three to four minutes, and it lasts from five to sixty seconds. Synchronizing and optimizing the waves, still points are like sighs. Anecdotes abound and just three to five sessions often give astonishing results. Still, you have to keep in mind that craniosacral therapy is more of a preventive than a cure for serious illnesses.

An open, receptive attitude helps. Milne says. Scientific studies proving the validity of craniosacral work exist, especially in the osteopathic and dental medical journals. Skeptics want to know about the long term effects as well as see more research before they give it any thumbs up.

At least three subtle rhythms have been identified in this "primary respiratory system", each having a different rate and producing rhythms within rhythms.

These three "tides" are referred to as: : 1. The long tide is considered to be the first stirring of life and motion as the Breath of Life emerges from a deeper ground of stillness at the center of our being.

Journal AOA, , Magoun H. Reference: Magoun H. Osteopathy in the cranial field. Journal Print, Kirksville, Following the descriptions of Sutherland, osteopaths are able to palpate the CRI not only on the skull, but also on the Sacrum. Simultaneous palpation of the Craniosacral Rate at the head and the feet.

Intrarater and interrater reliability and rate comparitions. Phys Ther Question is…: Why is the theory of Cerebrospinal fluid fluctuations, palpated at the same time at the Cranium and Sacrum, as the driving motor of the CRI, not correct?

Several reasons -a priori - could be taken in consideration for rejecting the theory that CRI of 14 cpm originates from CSF fluctuations and can be palpated not only at the level of the sacrum, but even so at the feets… The CSF fluctuations can not been explained by the results of CSF biodynamic research studies. Cerebral ventricle Cisterna magna Lumbar sub- arachnoid space 2. The dural tube is slack and elastic. Therefore, the original CSF fluctuations, starting at the level of the cranium, are demped at the level of the sacrum.

Why is this so? Biomechanical studies of neurological envelope-displacement demonstrate elongation and displacement only if strong flexion or extension of the vertebral column occurs. Dental Dr. Hack G. The fibers of the connective tissue bridge were oriented primarily perpendicular to the dura. This arrangement of fibers appears to resist movement of the dura toward the spinal cord. Spine ;20 23 This means that this little muscle can biomechanically make recentralisation possible of the spinal cord after each flexion-extension movement of the cervical spine.

This implicates also that the tension at the level of the duraL tube is demped by this phenomenon. What could then be the origine of this CSI???? The possible answer is to be found in one of the hemodynamical characteristics of small veins: ….. At the level of the Cranium: indirect venomotions; 2. At the level of feets: vasomotions of the great saphenous vein.

The automatic myogenic rhytmic activity can persists for more than 1 houre after the section of a small vein put in a physiologic bath… …..!!!! Veins and venules exhibit marked vasomotion that sweps centripetally as a peristaltic wave with the segment of any vessel between two valves , foming an automatic responsive unit. The muscular venules in the bat wing display spontaneous myogenic rhythmic activity even if the wing is dennervated or amputated.

The rate of contraction at room temperature ranges from 10 to 12 cpm. The rate of contration is strongly influenced by environmental factors, e. Contractions of the smooth muscles of the venous wall, cause active displacement of blood towards the heart, and, vasomotion contributes to the maintenance of blood fluidity in microvessels. NB: Those rhythmic venomotions happens independently of each of them! Feel the slow swelling and sudden fall in the phase of deswelling… Figure from Kahle et al.
