Understanding Cranial Bone Movement
Unlock the mechanics behind chiropractic cranial adjusting with this online course, “How Cranial Bones Move”. You’ll learn the 4 specific motion patterns of the cranium and how they impact each cranial bone, tools to assess the proper movement of the cranium, and what these subtle shifts can have on the growth and development of the cranium.
We’ll explore how respiratory motion, dural tension, cerebrospinal mechanics and structural relationships (sutures and fontanelles) guide cranial motion, especially in infants where early patterns set the stage for development. This course is ideal for those new to cranial work or preparing for advanced certification, giving you the hands-on insight needed to refine your palpation and deliver precise, effective care.
