Resolving Cranial Fault
The movement of the Cerebrospinal Fluid has far-reaching effects on your sensory and motor nerves and on your overall neurological function. Therefore, if one is to have an optimally functioning nervous system, then it is imperative that there is a continual, uninterrupted flow of the cerebrospinal fluid to bathe, nourish, and detoxify the brain and spinal cord. However, as result of different physical and/or emotional/psychological traumas as well as fascial restrictions, one or more of the cranial bones can become jammed or restricted, impairing its movement. When this happens, it is called a Cranial Fault. Cranial Faults can occur as early in life as during the birthing process; i.e. the use of forceps or from pulling on or twisting the babys head. Trauma to the spine (slips, falls, motor vehicle accidents, work related accidents, different types of sprains and strains) can all cause fixations in the segments of the spine.

Since the movement of your cranial bones, and the segments of your spine are directly associated with your breathing pattern, and the rhythmic contractions of the Dura Mater, cranial faults and spinal fixations will result in unbalanced breathing patterns and interrupt the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid. This will create subtle pressure on different areas of the brain and spinal cord, directly affecting the breathing pattern and brains activity. Unbalanced breathing patterns will affect the sleep cycle and result in mental disturbances. It will also result in decreased oxygen to your brain, organs, and tissues. This can result in numerous problems, such as dysmenorrheal (difficult or painful menstruation), coordination difficulties, decreased concentration, A.D.D., chronic fatigue, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, anxiety, stress, and motor coordination impairments, just to mention a few.
