Cranial osteopathic manipulative medicine
is a unique form of manipulation
where you start by measuring
the cranial rhythmic impulse.
00:09
The normal cranial rhythmic impulse
is between 10 and 14.
00:13
And you monitor for expansion
and contraction of the skull.
00:17
You monitor the motion, you
monitor the symmetry,
and it gives you information into
what’s going on with the pulse.
00:24
It changes in different states,
different emotions, and in different people.
00:29
So you know what the person’s normal
cranial rhythmic impulse is
and you help monitor it and note it.
00:35
And if there is restricted
motion in the skull,
flexion and extension of bones,
interruption between the flow between
the head and the sacrum.
00:46
Those are things that we could treat
with gentle enhancements, gentle pressure,
and holding of other areas of the skull
so that full motion is returned.
00:59
So cranial osteopathic
manipulative medicine
is a distinct and unique
form of manipulation.
