Cranial Sacral
| Cranial Sacral | Information |
|---|---|
| Cranial sacral system | made up of brain and spinal cord, meningeal membranes, cerebrospinal fluid, the bones |
| osteopathic theory | brain has contractile capacity |
| upledger theory | cranial movement is based of the rise and fall of cerebrospinal fluid |
| energetic theory | most ancient rhythm in our bodies. we crawled out of the sea with rhythm intact |
| 4 characteristics of cranial rhythm | symmetry, quality, amplitude, rate |
| CV4 | produces a calming effect, releases minor restrictions and stress |
| contraindications for CV4 | infacnts, kids under 9, cerebral aneurysm, recent stroke |
| membrane system | falx cerebri, tentorium cerebelli, falx cerebelli, dural tube |
| falx cerebri | 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 |
| occpitial bone (master bone) | location: posterior base of cranium articulations: parietals, temporals, sphenoid, atlas, falx cerebelli, falx cerebri, tentorium cerebelli characteristics: flexibility in life, being able to give + receive love and support |
| Occipital bone cont'd | indictions: tension HA, whiplash, head/neck trauma, shoulder pain, low back pain |
| 3 nerves associate w/ occiput | cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal), X (vagus), XI (accessory) |
| Cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal) | controls sensation, taste on tongue, and tympanic membrane |
| Cranial nerve X (Vagus) | 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 |
| frontal bone | location: anterior part of cranium; forms part of forehead and eye socket articulations: parietals, zygomae, sphenoid, maxilla, ethmoid, falx cerebri characteristics: higher level of concentration, higher intelligence, wisdom to see and accept change |
| frontal bone cont'd | indications: over thinking/worrying (esp. PM), helps focus thought, whiplash, HA, facial work |
| parietal bones | location: superior + lateral aspects of skill articulations: occiput, frontal, temporal, sphenoid, falx cerebri characteristics: aspirations vs. depression indictions: depression, hopelessness, lack of joy, SAD syndrome |
| temproal bones | location: sides (inferior) + base of skull articulations: parietals, occiput, sphenoid, zygomaes, mandible, the "tent" Characteristics: balance of life, house teh structure for hearing and balance indications: inner ear probs., vertigo, tinnitus, ADD |
| temporal bones cont'd | movement: flexion-lateral, extension-medial; many key muscles attach (SCM, longissmus capitis, splenius capitis |
| mandible | location: jaw articulations: temporal bon via the articular disk of TMJ characteristics: expression of emotion, listening, not understanding, cant get pt. across indications: tinnitus, HA, structural probs., digestion probs, TMJD |
| mandible cont'd | movement: flexion-jaw drops down, extension- jaw closes up; clenching- happens during day, broxism- happens at night |
| TMJ anatomy | sllipsoid joint which allows for movement in different planes; 90% of people seeking tx are women in childbearing yrs. |
| sphenoid (master bone, central bone) | location: anterior + inferior base of cranium articulations: all bones of cranium, the zygomae + tent at clinoid process characteristics: perception +inner seeing, seeing things w/ clarity + objectivity indications: ADD/ADHD, epliepsy, HA, vision probs |
| sphenoid bone cont'd | movement: flexion-anterior/interior, extension-posterior/superior |
| zygomae bone | location: superior +lateral aspects of viscerocranium "cheekbones" articulations: sphenoid, maxillae, frontal +temporal bones characteristics: pride in apperance, strengeth + protection indications: sinus probs, stress, impact (physical blow), TMJD |
| ehtmoid bone | location: top of nose, b/w 2 orbits of eyes, anterior to sphenoid articulations: frontal, sphenoid, maxillae + nasal bones. The falx @ the crista galli characteristics: perception + intuition, seeing the way ahead, seeing options, feeling hopeful |
| ethmoid bone cont'd | indications: sinus probs, hopelessness, depresion, spiritual trauma, lack of inner clarity; houses 4 sinus; helps humdify + heat air inhaled; cranial + facial bone movement: complicated |
| sacrum (master bone) | location: most distal end of spinal collumn, b/w the 2 ilium articulations: L5, ilia, coccyx characteristics: stability:security +safety, spirituality:home of the root, soul, sensuality, sexuality:comfortable w/ 1's gender |
| sacrum cont'd | indications: law back pain; hip, knee, leg pain; HA; whiplash; sinus probs.; emotional trauma; grounding |
| chakra 1 (root) | base of spine, red, tribal connections |
| chakra 2 (spleen/ pelvic) | below naval, orange, balance in relationships |
| chakra 3 (solar plexus) | b/w heat + naval, yellow, personal power |
