The book delves into osteopathic dysfunctions and principles in the cranial field, providing details on the location, development, and clinical implications of dysfunction for each cranial bone. The book also covers inspection, palpation, biomechanical and biodynamical approaches to cranial bone motility, and intrasutural or intraosseal techniques, all accompanied by clear illustrations and step-by-step instructions for clinical use.
Taking a detail-oriented, yet holistic approach to the body is the underpinning of craniosacral osteopathy.
This richly illustrated guide is structured into two volumes.
The first volume focuses on the jaw joint, TMJ and mouth disorders disorders, and the facial skull, whilst the second volume covers special sense organs, orofacial pain, headaches and cranial nerves.
This resource will help you both understand how specific dysfunctions arise, but also how they interrelate to wider patterns of dysfunction. Further chapters cover palpatory procedures, including examples of best practice, and guidance in training your palpatory perception.
With precise anatomical diagrams to illustrate each craniosacral technique, this resource provides a strong foundation for any successful cranial osteopathic practice.
