Cranial Release Technique (CRT)

Cranial Release Technique (CRT) is a revolutionary natural healing method, which seeks to correct malposition of the skull bones. This in turn can have a dramatic effect on many functions of the body, as the skull houses and protects the brain, which controls 80% of your nervous system. Your central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. It is responsible for proper function of the body, including all cells, tissues, organs and all systems. A healthy nervous system will likely indicate a healthy functioning body.

CRT recognizes that symptoms are no more than descriptions of the pattern of dysfunction in the system. It is imperative to begin to focus on the underlying weaknesses, which finally permitted the onset of the symptoms. In America, health levels are almost always determined by the presence or absence of symptoms. It has been shown that we are all ticking along at a level of function, often far below our potential and most of the time, without identifiable symptoms. Symptoms, which arise later, are often “triggered” by some event, but essentially “take hold” primarily because of the inherent weakness in the system caused by the cranial “flaw” or injury which occurred prior to birth or during the birth process. What needs to be corrected, no matter what your health status, is the cranial (and therefore spinal) status in order to restore maximum function to the system. The main system affected is known as the Primary Respiratory Mechanism, an involuntary system, which runs the entire body. This mechanism is a rhythmic movement, pumping cerebrospinal fluid between the cranium and sacrum (tailbone). This connection between both ends of the spine allows for the possibility of “global” correction to the entire system once the cranial distortion is corrected. The Cranial Release System therefore addresses people who are dysfunctioning – the total person – and not diseases or disease names. It is probably the most holistic system in existence for this reason.
