Unlocking the Secrets of Cranial Sacral Therapy: Understanding the Cranial Rhythm and Temporal Ear Pull

🧠Cranial sacral therapy works by relieving compression and restrictions in the head, spinal column, and sacrum caused by injuries and stress.

🔍The cranial rhythm is a very subtle movement of expansion and contraction in the bones of the head, which can be palpated to identify restrictions or compressions.

👂The temporal ear pull technique involves gently pulling the temporal bone away from other surrounding bones to release restrictions and relieve various issues.

🌬️Temporal ear pull can help alleviate inner ear problems, headaches, TMJ dysfunction, and sinus issues by addressing the restrictions and compressions in the head.

👍Practicing sensing the cranial rhythm and mastering techniques like temporal ear pull can be beneficial in offering cranial sacral therapy to clients.
