What Is Craniosacral Therapy?
|
If you have ever been to a chiropractor or massage therapist, you may have experienced craniosacral therapy (CST).However, if this sounds alien to you, and you live with chronic migraines, neck pain, neuralgia, or even are suffering with side effects from cancer treatments, CST may be worth exploring. Great Article to Read!

Somato Emotional Release: The Holistic Technique That Can Treat Both Your Body And Your Mind
|
Emotional, mental, and physical health are strongly connected. It's no surprise that about one third of American adults are now attending therapy, according to a 2020 survey conducted by OnePoll. However, therapy can take many forms. This article discusses SomatoEmotional Release (SER), a mind‐body . Pinincu wrote "SER could be one of the best ways to help yourself feel less anxious. This technique creates a safe space where you can get in touch with your emotions without losing control. At the same time, it relaxes your body and releases the tension in your head, muscles, and joints. It's not a cure‐all, but it could change your life for the better." Read more. |

Osteopathy for prolonged symptoms after COVID-19
|
Since the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic with the first confirmed case on December 1, 2019, the pathogen has now spread worldwide. In the scientific research work on the disease COVID-19 caused by the pathogen. Sabine Foster-Garn investigated whether osteopathic treatment (including Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation and CranioSacral Therapy) can change prolonged symptoms in post-COVID-19 patients. The following article provides an overview of the results and the assessment. Interesting Read! |

Single Slow-Paced Breathing Session at Six Cycles per Minute: Investigation of Dose-Response Relationship on Cardiac Vagal Activity
|
The practice of slow-paced breathing (SPB) has been linked to a range of positive outcomes, such as decreasing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as increasing well-being. Among the suggested mechanisms of action, SPB has been shown to increase cardiac vagal activity (CVA). Slow-paced breathing (SPB), the voluntary slowing down of respiratory frequency (RF), is linked to a range of positive mental and physical health outcomes, such as decreased depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. |

A mesothelium divides the subarachnoid space into functional compartments
|
The central nervous system is lined by meninges, classically known as dura, arachnoid, and pia mater. We show the existence of a fourth meningeal layer that compartmentalizes the subarachnoid space in the mouse and human brain, designated the subarachnoid lymphatic-like membrane (SLYM). SLYM is morpho- and immunophenotypically similar to the mesothelial membrane lining of peripheral organs and body cavities, and it encases blood vessels and harbors immune cells. |

Physiological Effects of Slow Breathing
|
Slow breathing practices have been adopted in the modern world across the globe due to their claimed heath benefits.This has interest in researchers and clinicians who decided to investigate into the effects of slow breathing. This is an overview of normal respiratory phisiology to research in healthy humans. |

The Intertwined Evolution and Development of Sutures and Cranial Morphology
|
Throughout post-natal craniofacial development, sutures function as sites of bone growth, accommodating expansion of a growing brain. The Skull has a crucial role, sutures also function postnatally while overall skull shape is altered accomodating the expansive brain. |

The Impact of Resonance Frequency Breathing on Measures of Heart Rate Variability, Blood Pressure, and Mood
|
Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) significantly improves heart rate variability (HRV). Breathing at resonance frequency (RF, approximately 6 breaths/min) constitutes a key part of HRVB training and is hypothesized to be a pathway through which biofeedback improves HRV. No studies to date, however, have experimentally examined whether RF breathing impacts measures of HRV. The present study addressed this question by comparing three groups. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a key marker of health, mood, and adaptation, and hence improvements in HRV improves health, mood, and an adaptation to stress. |

6 Breaths Per Minute Benefits Proven By Science
|
6 breaths per minute is based on one the the natural reflexes of the human body. When we breath more slowly our oxygen level decreases while your CO2 level in the blood increases. |

Age estimation by multidetector CT images of the sagittal suture
|
Closure of cranial sutures progresses with age; therefore, microscopic assessment of cranial sutures has been used as one method of age estimation. Age estimation is one of the most important methods used the identification of human remains and is also one of the greatest challenges in forensic medicine particularly in the case of adult remains. Tomography and MRI's and Ultrasound are being investigated alongsid the re-evaluation of the classic techniques for an estimation based on the Cranial Sutures. |

The Skull’s Girder: A Brief Review of the Cranial Base
|
Several elegant studies, ranging from animal developmental biology to human anthropology, have assembled a framework of cranial base anatomy, embryology, molecular genetics, evolution, and dysfunction. However, despite this compendium of experimental work, the cranial base remains relatively understudied, especially in comparison to the cranial vault and facial skeleton—despite its close integration with these superficial elements. Still need continued investigation and knowledge of the Cranal Base should be an ever expanding tool kit for the future! |

Timing and rate of spheno-occipital synchondrosis closure and its relationship to puberty
|
This study examines the relationship between spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS) closure and puberty onset in a modern American population. It also investigates the timing and the rate of SOS closure in males and females. Very interesting subject! |

Molecular basis of cranial suture biology and disease: Osteoblastic and osteoclastic perspectives
|
The human skull is formed from 9 Cranial Bones. The bones articulate with one another to be joined together.The bones can form in different ways, most bones form to the sutures in normal formation. |

Approching the Emotional Gut
|
A digestive system that is not functioning well can have debilitating, painful and uncomfortable to live with. CranioSacral Therapy and the Gut and Brain all seem to coincide with each other. People seem to try all kinds of dietary restrictions and supplements to help themselves to no avail. It sometimes may get so serious that they may have to have surgery and have a stoma bag for life. Nikki became interested in the studies at the Upledger Institute for Brain and Gut Issues for people with different strugles including PTSD. Great Article! |

CAN CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY OFFER RELIEF FOR POST-CONCUSSION SYMPTOMS?
|
Ricky Williams has experienced CST for himself having post concussion syndrome, discovered The Upledger Foundation and The Ricky Williams Foundation partnered to create a specific program for Football players with Intensive programs to help all post concussion players. They have found after having CST Therapy they were able to do things that they couldn't before the Therapy sessions. |

Management of Post-Viral Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome With Craniosacral Therapy
|
Postural Orthostatic Tachcardia Syndrome(POTS) is a rare disorder of the autonomic nervous system. The number of people who have gotten this disorder has incresed since the outbreak of Covid 19, it seems to go largely undiagnosed. CranioSacral Therapy has seemed to help with the symptoms of this rare disorder. |

Upledger CranioSacral Therapy Paradigm
|
“Every treatment protocol should be dictated by the wisdom of the patient’s own body.” —Dr. John E. Upledger This quote by Dr. Upledger is at the heart of Upledger CranioSacral Therapy and is the foundation for its Paradigm. The Upledger Paradigm describes the core principles of Upledger CranioSacral Therapy (CST). It is a combination of Dr. John E. Upledger’s in-class teachings, his written material, and the interpretation of his work by Upledger Institute International Instructors. The Paradigm is designed to evolve over time as CST continues to progress. It is composed of, but not limited to, the following aspects. |
The International Association of Healthcare Practitioners invites you to join in valuable training, networking and practice building opportunities.
