ChiklyInstitute's video: Minerva s Success with Dr Chikly s Advanced Cranial Meninges Techniques BACM

www.ChiklyInstitute.com It can be a challenging endeavor to work on every fiber of the intracranial meninges and synchronize with each specific direction in 3-D. This class use 22 labs to help you palpate and release numerous meninges of the cranium and spinal cord. Precision working on the cranial meninges is extremely important. The change of tension inside the cranium modifies the tension in the thorax, pelvis and abdomen and ultimately influences the whole-body system. Release of the intracranial meninges is usually an essential and very powerful application for conditions such as motor vehicle accidents, concussion, strokes, chronic meningitis, nervous system surgeries, chronic headaches as well as for children with cerebral palsy, on the autistic spectrum, etc. Beryl E. Arbuckle, DO, FACOP, one of the first teachers in the faculty of WG Sutherland, developed a technique that was unfortunately lost to the osteopathic world. She described specific concepts of dural “stress bands” and reinforcement of the cranial bones (“buttresses”) that could indicate problems with the central nervous system. She made available beautiful maps of the dural network based on numerous precise dissections of the nervous system. In this course we will use a curved biotensegrity model to release the intracranial meninges. This model has been effectively applied for many years from newborns to the elderly people, as well as domesticated animals. The Brain Therapy Curriculum is an advanced-level course that takes us to the next realm of manual therapy. It explores the brain, spinal cord and related pathologies such as closed-head injuries, whiplash, headaches, dyslexia, cerebral palsy, cognitive behavioral dysfunctions, learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Students will learn specific techniques to release brain-centered restrictions as well as the damaging effects that these restrictions cause. These are advanced classes that use a slightly different paradigm by working extensively with the brain parenchyma, grey and white matter, cranial and spinal nerves and vascular structures rather than mainly concentrating on the cranial bones and membranes. The body often aligns itself around these precise structures and they are frequently unaddressed key/dominant tissue restrictions. Many topics are covered including 1- Cranial bones (intraosseous and interosseous lesions), 2- Cranial membranes in all anatomical directions 3- Fluid: 3 distinct compartments A- Subarachnoid spaces and cerebral cisterns B- Brain parenchyma and the glymphatic system C- Ventricles 4- Grey Matter: 3 and 6 layered cortex and brain nuclei 5- White Matter: 3 types of organization 6- Electro-magnetic field (EMF) of the brain 7- Emotions, mental or spiritual dimensions
