Gentle therapeutic approach derived from Sutherland's cranial osteopathy, popularized by John Upledger, focused on releasing restrictions of the craniosacral system.
Set of cranial osteopathic techniques working directly on the reciprocal tension membranes (falx cerebri, falx cerebelli, tentorium cerebelli, diaphragma sellae) via precise bony contacts on the skull and sacrum, to normalize intracranial membranous tensions and restore the Primary Respiratory Mechanism.
Osteopathic system developed by William Garner Sutherland based on rhythmic mobility of cranial bones, dura mater and sacrum within the Primary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM).
