5-01 Cranial Rhythmic Impulse / Craniosacral Rhythm / Cranial Motilities, The Burnham Review

Palpation and Influence on the Cranial Rhythmic Impulse 
   The Cranial Rhythmic Impulse or CranioSacral Rhythm is a motility or reflective of the movement of the cerebral spinal fluid and related to the Traube-Hering oscillations in blood flow velocity. There are over 50,000 practitioners who feel they can palpate and influence this rhythm. Over the last 20 years there has been more and more scientific and evidence based research that indicates that this is true...........Buy This Issue Today
