craniofascial.com
presents obscure and unexplored aspects of manual cranial therapy
and selected history, anatomy, physiology, pathology and technique issues that
are not readily found elsewhere. Craniofascial Therapy is a manual technique and
approach for all the body, as fascia and other connective tissues
are widespread. The head is of particular relevance, as the cranial
bones actually have slight but definite mobility patterns that
can be assessed and released. The Australian Craniofascial Therapy School was
founded in 1992 by director Malcolm Hiort and conducts workshops
for physical therapists in Melbourne, elsewhere in Australia and
South East Asia.
Students learn about cranial osteopath WG Sutherland’s Primary
Respiratory Mechanism; how the brain and cranial ventricles produce
the cranial rhythm that can be palpated throughout the body, as
mediated by the fascia and fluids of the body tissues. As every muscle is wrapped in fascia,
and
membranes
in the head (the dural meninges) connect with the sacrum at the
bottom of the spine, and each organ is wrapped and supported by
fascia, these connective tissues require specialised methods to
release tension. Gentle interactive assessment and release techniques
are learned that have many valuable applications throughout the
body to restore mobility and function, ease pain and prevent symptoms. Malcolm Hiort combines craniofascial with other manual therapies to treat clients. Individual consultations are available in inner Melbourne. You will find on this site |
