attaches to ethmoid and frontal bones. seperates right and left hemispheres
tentorium cerebelli
supports the weight of the brain and suspends above the brain stem
falx cerebelli
attaches to foramen magnum and then blends intot he meninges of the dural tube
dural tube
attaches to foramen magum, c2,c3 and 2nd sacral segment. creates a physical and energetic relationship b/w the occiput and sacrum. spinal nerve exits through the dura
4 concepts 2 working with fasica
single system, fascial fibers run vertically, some locations have dense collection of horizontal fibers, is very mobile
benefits 2 diaphragm area
enhances CR, enhances respiratory and organ function, enhances efficiency of cranial tech., prolongs benefits after session
fasica
connective tissue, covers bones and nerves and organs, supports+isolates+lubericates body, dysfunction in 1 area can be conveyed elsewhere
signs of restrictions releasing
heat, fluid releasing, softening, body movements,body relaxing, swallowing, breathing changes, theraputic pulse, REM, SER
contraindictions
acute intracranial hemorrhange, intracranial aneurysms, recent skull fractures, severe grand mal seizures, recent strokes, kids under 9

associated w/ muscles of pharynx and larynx, aids in swallowing, digestion and bowel function
Cranial nerve XI (accessory)
provides motor coordination for traps and sternocleidomastoid
