Cranial Mobilization

 

Cranial mobilization is a manual treatment strategy that involves decompression of the bones of the skull

Cranial Mobilization increases circulation and decreases tension on the tissues around the brain and associated nerves. It is a common misconception that the skull is rigid.  Sutures provide small amounts of motion to keep the skull from breaking with sudden movements or impact.  Cranial mobilization is very helpful in treating TMJ, headaches and craniosacral dysfunctions.
