Cranial palpation: Hand utilization techniques & cranial rhythmic identification

Pick MGAssociation of Swiss Chiropractors Conference: Bürgenstock Hotels and Resorts Sep 18, 1998

Presented at a research teaching conference in Switzerland, Dr. Pick discusses how to develop the practitioner’s hand manipulative dexterity and palpatory skills to aid the practitioner to identify the four cranial rhythmic impulses. Using a balloon filled with water, practitioners are paired up into a Group A and Group B. Group A will act as the practitioner while group B will be the simulator subjects. Then Group B will sit comfortably in chairs while group A contacts their group B partner’s head for the exercise. Four specific exercises are performed to help simulate and aid in palpation of cranial rhythms.
