ABOUT CRANIOSOMATICS^SM

CranioSomatics^SM: (noun) is the concept that both functions and dysfunctions of the cranial system are reflected in identifiable and predictable musculoskeletal / somatic responses throughout the body. The converse is also generally true.

CranioSomatic concepts are a new paradigm for understanding the interrelatedness of the cranium and its sutures with neuromuscular, joint, and acupuncture meridian functions, and the influence of various environmental factors. These concepts were developed by Dr. Dallas Hancock and Florence Barber in the mid-1990s. More depth and detail are evolving as they continue clinical practice and research.

CranioSomatic Therapy^SM is the therapeutic application of CranioSomatic Concepts. It is a system of evaluations of neuromusculoskeletal functions and specific related cranial treatment procedures. These procedures can provide immediate, generally long-lasting improvements in neuromuscular function and structural balance, and the reduction or elimination of related pain and other symptoms of dysfunction.

CranioSomatic Therapy is an integrative approach to normalizing the structure and function of the body that utilizes several innovative and highly effective therapies that can be used singularly or in combination. These include:

• CranioStructural Integration (CSI)
• Facilitated Pathways Intervention (FPI)
  

Other techniques, such as joint mobilization, may also be incorporated in a therapy session.

CranioSomatic Therapy is often able to provide immediate, long-term relief to many chronic complaints that have responded poorly, if at all, to many other therapeutic interventions. Successful outcomes may be attributed to CranioSomatic Therapy’s application of new clinical discoveries in biomechanics and neurophysiology.

Who can benefit from CranioSomatic Therapy?

• Athletes seeking to improve their performance.
• Children with functional problems or developmental delays.
• All age groups, from infants to super-seniors.
• People with limited joint range-of-motion, with or without pain.
• People with a functional or idiopathic scoliosis.
• People with a tipped pelvis & functional short leg.
