craniosacral
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Craniosacral therapy : | A method of complementary/alternative medicine used to move CSF through the spinal cord. Used to treat mental stress, neck/back pain, migraines, TMJ, and fibromyalgia. |
| Which cranial bone became the keystone to cranial therapy? | Sphenoid |
| Who discovered that the cranial bones are not fused as once thought, but move in a cranial motion slightly in rhythm with the CSF? | William Sutherland (1873-1954) |
| The sutures are beaded, like the gills of a fish indicating what? | Indicates articular motility for a respiratory mechanism. |
| In what year did the Upledger Institute begin? | 1984 |
| There is a connection between the cranium and the sacrum do to what? | Dural tube (spinal dura mater) |
| Being open minded to what Craniosacral therapy may bring you : | 1)Being left brained can be used against you as a road block, 2)Scientific reasons for all techniques, 3)Feel what is happening, 4) Be aware of your intuitive feelings! |
| Goals of Craniosacral Therapy: | Listen to obvious rhythms of your clients body. Use correct hand techniques to influence meninges to release stagnant patterns/restrictions. Be present with your client in such a way to reach deep relaxation. |
| The main "listening stations"are found where? | MAIN-Head, pelvis, and ankles. Others are interior thighs, ASIS, Ribs, Shoulders. |
| Right brain characteristics: | Holistic thought, intuition, creativity, art/music, imaginative, intangible & subjective thoughts. |
| Left brain characteristics: | Analytic thought, numbers, spoken/written languages, critical & objectional thinking, hard sciences, functioning more from rational thinking, detail orientated, facts. |
| The Craniosacral system is a total body function that is ___________: | Physiological |
| Craniosacral system encloses : | Brain and Spinal cord. Made up of Meninges, CSF, and Pressurestat Model. |
| Craniosacral system are a large part of your Nervous system. It affects what other system? | Endocrine system |
| Pressurestat model : | Structures within the membrane system that control fluid input/output from the system. |
| Where is Cerebrospinal fluid located ? | Brain and spinal cord (enclosed in the membrane system) |
| What are Meninges? | Three layers of the membrane system that are connective tissue. Protect the spinal cord. Move independently to allow spine to move & bend w/o putting strain on the spinal cord. |
| As pressure increases in the cranium, CSF production is ______? | Halted |
| As pressure in the cranium decreases, CSF production _________? | Increases |
| Dura Mater; what is it? | Outer layer of Connective tissue/(waterproof/protective) tough membrane that encases the brain & spinal column. It attatches to the Foramen Magnum, C2, and S2. |
| Arachnoid membrane: | Middle layer; Thin & delicate. Seperated from the Dura and Pia mater. |
| Pia mater : | Innermost layer; Highly vascular(this layer delivers blood supply) |
| Choroid plexus : | Bundles of capillaries which project from the Pia mater to "produce the majority of the CSF" |
| Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF): | Fluid that carries nutrients to the body and takes away the waste. This is between each layer. |
| Cranial bones : | Ethmoid(1), Frontal(1), Occiput(1), Sphenoid(1), Parietal(2), Temporal(2). |
| Facial bones : | Mandible(1), Vomer(1), Lacrimal(2), Maxilla(2), Nasal(2), Palatine(2), Zygomatic(2), Inferior nasal concha(2) |
| Sutures of the skull : | Sagittal (front to back/top of head), Lambdoid suture (Letter C ear to ear), Coronal suture (top of head to Temporalis), Squamous suture (Temporal bone) |
| The cranial system relates to these six systems : | Nervous, Vascular, Endocrine, Musculoskeletal, Lymphatic, & Respiratory. |
| Nervous system : | Brain, spinal cord, nerves. |
| Vascular system : | Internal organs |
| Endocrine system : | Hormones that work with the Nervous system in regulating metabolic activity. |
| Musculoskeletal system : | Muscles, tendons, ligaments, Tension & holding patterns. |
| Lymphatic system : | Returning excess fluid to the blood & defends the body against disease. |
| Respiratory system : | Supplies oxygen to the blood & rids the body of carbon dioxide. |
| Tissue Memory : | Opinion:This is the cells/tissues own memory of an injury or emotional trauma. It is kept here until released. The body decides on when to release it. |
| Energy Cyst : | Retains physical imprints of trauma in the tissues. It leaves residue embedded in the body. These are area's of restricted/disorganized energy. |
| The pressure used in Craniosacral Therapy is ? | Very light; Only 5 grams of pressure or less. Same as the pressure you would put comfortably on closed eyelids. |
| The motion used in Craniosacral Therapy is ? | Very subtle. Palpate with your whole hand. Feel for cranial rhythm(movement). The idea is to meld the palpating part of your body with the body you are examining. |
