Cranium is the medical term for the skull, the sacrum is our sacrum, the back part of our pelvis. There is a functional system between these two parts. They are connected by the membranes of the brain and spinal cord, so that movement of one part automatically moves the other. There is a movement-inducing mechanism within the skull. This is called the cranio-rhythmic impulse (CRI). Our skull consists of different bone parts that are connected to each other by the cranial sutures. These sutures allow a small degree of movement, which is caused by the CRI and is expressed in the form of expansion and retraction of the skull. As already mentioned above, a connection between the skull and sacrum also results in movement of the sacrum and therefore also the pelvis. Our extremities also continue to move in an external and internal rotation that is not visible but can be felt by trained hands. This very slight movement can therefore be found not only in the head, but in the entire body. Our cranial sutures, just like our larger joints, can suffer blockages with the result that their mobility is restricted, which leads to an altered expression of the skull and the whole body and has an influence on it. Using very gentle techniques, our team at Osteopathie am Römer tries to detect and eliminate the restrictions so that the body can regain its comfort.
