🧠Craniosacral rhythm is the movement of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and spinal cord
💤Restrictions in craniosacral rhythm can lead to imbalances and dysfunctions in the body
🩺Assessing craniosacral rhythm involves listening to the rhythm in different parts of the body
🦶Ankles and legs can have restrictions and imbalances that affect craniosacral rhythm
🤝Shoulders and hips can also contribute to imbalances in craniosacral rhythm
What is craniosacral rhythm?
—Craniosacral rhythm is the movement of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and spinal cord, which can be assessed to identify restrictions and imbalances in the body.
How is craniosacral rhythm assessed?
—Craniosacral rhythm can be assessed by listening to the rhythm in different parts of the body, such as the heels, dorsum, hips, and shoulders.
What can cause imbalances in craniosacral rhythm?
—Imbalances in craniosacral rhythm can be caused by restrictions or dysfunctions in the ankles, legs, hips, and shoulders.
Why is craniosacral rhythm important?
—Craniosacral rhythm is important because imbalances can contribute to various physical and neurological conditions and affect overall health and well-being.
How can imbalances in craniosacral rhythm be treated?
—Imbalances in craniosacral rhythm can be treated through manual therapy techniques that aim to release restrictions and restore balance.
00:00In this video, we learn about the evaluation protocol for assessing craniosacral rhythm.
00:09The craniosacral rhythm is observed to move in external rotation during flexion and internal rotation during extension.
00:35Restrictions in craniosacral rhythm can be caused by ankle injuries or stress/strain.
01:58Imbalances and restrictions in craniosacral rhythm can be observed in the legs and hips.
03:02The shoulders show restricted flexion on the right side and restricted extension on the left side.
03:38The evaluation indicates a shearing sensation towards the left side, indicating right-sided restrictions in the body.
04:55Craniosacral rhythm is observed in the head, with fluid volume increasing during flexion and decreasing during extension.
05:02Left-sided drainage or reabsorption difficulty is noted in the head, indicating restrictions in craniosacral rhythm.
