Understanding Cranio SelfCare4Health: A Real-Life Example

A client came to me with jaw pain and tightness, especially when opening her mouth. She also preferred to chew food on the right side.

Starting the Session

I began by focusing on the "Breath of Life" at her feet, waiting for a sense of balance to emerge. Once I felt a state of equilibrium, I moved to her chest and tuned in to her thoracic inlet. Her heart was beating very fast, but after a while, her breathing and heartbeat both slowed down, indicating a state of calm.

Working on the Jaw

With her thoracic inlet balanced, I started working inside her mouth. I began by holding her maxilla (upper jaw). Her bite was uneven—there was a lot of pressure on the right side and barely any contact on the left side. Once her maxilla aligned with the sphenoid bone, her bite became more balanced. I then worked on the ramus of her mandible (jawbone), starting from the left side and moving to the right.

Understanding the Periosteum

A quick side note: the periosteum is a membrane that covers the outer surface of all bones except the joint surfaces. It has an outer fibrous layer full of collagen and an inner cellular layer that plays a crucial role in bone repair and maintenance.

Why It Matters

Collagen fibers in the periosteum provide structural support and help tissues withstand tension. The periosteum also contains blood vessels and nerves that nourish the bone and cause pain if damaged. These blood vessels penetrate the bone through channels and help bind the periosteum to the bone.

Bringing it All Together

Throughout the session, I aimed to connect with the whole body through the bones and periosteum. This awareness extends to the fascia and fluid body, bringing a holistic approach to self-care.

We tried various hand positions on the ramus, vomer, and zygoma (facial bones).

Client's Feedback

By the end of the session, my client reported an 80% reduction in pain on the right side and a significant release of tightness. She found it much easier to open her jaw wide and felt like there was "more room" in her mouth.
