Fig. 8.6 Craniosacral System

As described before, the craniosacral system has a high and low tide according to the
movement of the cranial bones and membranes in the cranium. Each individual bone has
a very specific movement plus a bending factor of the bone itself. This means that the
bones can actually bend like a piece of hard rubber. We can also see a general move-
ment of the cranium (seen as one piece). In the flexion stage the cranium becomes wider
and shorter. In the extension stage the skull becomes smaller and longer. You can com-
pare it with a balloon you hold on both sides. If you softly press and release every 6 to 7
seconds, you get an effect similar to the cranium during flexion/extension.
