Author: Cranial based healthcare has its origins in the late 1800’s when Dr. William Sutherland pioneered the concept of cranial bone movement while he was a student at American School of Osteopathy. His investigations of clients led him to the concept of Primary Respiratory Mechanism or the “respiratory” like movement of the cranial bones.
Through his research of this movement he discovered the presence of cranial bone lesions. He felt that these lesions, fixations, and distortions interfered with the expression of the Primary Respiratory Mechanism and in doing so caused illness and disease
Stress today is at an all time high. Research has shown that when we are under constant, chronic low-level stress that brain hemisphere activity lateralizes and the body twists out of balance. This Cranial-Dural Stress Syndrome has very far-reaching on our health and vitality. As the brain moves deeply into stress states the frequency at which it functions as well as brain activity change. The brain shifts into a state where one hemisphere of the rain becomes more active over the other. Along with this shift come marked changes in the physical and emotional body. In the physical body muscle tension is increased on one side of the body leading to structural weakness and imbalance in gravity.
