Primary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM)
- inherent motility of CNS
- fluctuation of CSF
- mobility of reciprocal tension membrane (dura)
- articular mobility of cranial bones
- mobility of sacrum between the ilia
**lead to cranial rhythmic impulse (CRI) (usually 6-12/min)
tinnitus
treat temporals
high pitched=internal rotation
low pitched=external rotation
CV-IV (bulb decompression)
- treatment
- stimulate body’s inherent therapeutic potency to overcome dysfunction
- treat women past due date
- encourage internal rotation/extension
VSD
treat rigid head, sinusitus, allergic rhinitis, migraines, throbbing sensations
occipital sinus
falx cerebelli
transverse sinus
tentorium cerebelli
straight sinus
3 portions of dura meet
sagittal sinus
falx cerebri
v-spread
- release peripheral sutures
- contre coup
temporal rocking
- reduce or increase frequency of CRI
- external rotation brings mastoid processes posterior/medial
- internal rotation brings mastoid processes anterior/lateral
parietal lift
headache at vertex
internal rotation-lift-wait for external rotation
frontal lift
frontal sinus headache
internal rotation-lift-wait for external rotation
