Osteopathic Theory

Back 48

Sutherland suggested the brain has contractile capacity. Thus, the force of creating the movement in the brain expanding and contracting in rhythmic cycles

Front 49

Upledger Theory

Back 49

The Cranial movement is based on the rise and fall of cerebrospinal fluid As the ventricles of the brain pump CSF into the membrane system of the brain, the pressure from the fluid produced creates an expansion in the head. A nerve located in the sagittal suture monitors the expansion
