Understanding Spinal Fluid Movement & Cranial Sacral Massage Therapy

Video Transcript

"Hi! On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Jean Hurley from Siegels Day Spa in Cottonwood, Arizona and we are here today to talk about techniques for cranial-sacral release therapy. I want to identify what the movement of the cerebral spinal fluid feels like. I have identified it as feeling like a J hook movement. Once you have identified the movement of the fluid because it is not related to the way the lymphatic system moves, it is not related to the pulse, the way you feel the pulse. By holding a point on the client for up to a minute, you would feel a certain J-hook, kind of like a suction of its own depth and that is the movement of the cerebral spinal fluid and once you feel the pulse, you kind of feel like a hook up and it kind of sucks towards the cranium so it is a hook up and slides back sort of a J-hook."
