Understanding the Cranial Mechanism and Venous Sinus System in Cranial Osteopathy
This course is intended for students who already have a basic knowledge of the cranial bones and sutures but have never learned the structure and function of the Cranial Mechanism and the Cranial Venus Sinus System.
In this short course you will gain a thorough understanding the structure of both, their importance in treating cranial conditions, video demonstrations and hands-on practice assignments that ca be submitted towards earning 10 CEU hours for this course through a Certificate of Completion.
It contains audio lessons, video demonstrations of how to use some of the most classic and useful techniques to facilitate drainage of the Cranium, a document download with all of the theory and step by step techniques, as well as downloadable documents to guide you through your hands-on practice assignments.
