What Is The
Bio Cranial System ? |
The Bio Cranial System has finally unlocked the connection
between the head and our health, at just about every
level. It is therefore probably one of the most significant
advances in healthcare delivery to have taken place
in many years. But let's go back to the beginning.
Many years ago an American Osteopathic physician, Dr.
William Garner Sutherland, discovered that there was
a movement of the bones of the head (cranium) - of which
there are 22 in number - and that this involuntary
movement takes place throughout life.
It is like a rhythmic opening and closing which takes
place around the joints between the bones. Small groups
of followers have variously attempted to determine what
significance this all had, and with differing degrees
of success. Until now, that is. During the 1970's and
'80's, Dr. Robert Boyd, a UK based Osteopath carried
out his own research and finally came up with the answer
that all had been looking for. This research demonstrated
that, not only were practically all of us "injured"
at birth and before - and this is a story in itself
- but that these "injuries" impacted dramatically
on the level at which our bodies function throughout
life. For example, if we take the nervous
systems alone, none of us is operating at the level
we should be. And since this major system is involved
in almost every physiological process such as how other
systems and organs function - muscular, circulatory,
gastro-intestinal, hormonal, kidneys, heart, liver uterus
and so on - you can see that we are at the
very core of how we tick.
There were two other very important discoveries made
by Dr. Boyd. One was that the distorted, torqued or
warped pattern of the cranial bones resulted in compensatory
“distortion” – misalignment –
of the spinal bones and that this misalignment of the
spine is almost always the follow on from the cranial
end, to which the spine is joined, of course. But the
even more important discovery was that there was a particular
anatomical alignment of the cranial bones, in total,
in which we should all be – only one – if
the involuntary movement is to function properly. To
discover this and to be able to correct has undoubtedly
been Dr. Boyd’s great contribution to health restoration.
You see, health levels are almost always determined
by the presence or absence of symptoms. Dr. Boyd has
shown that this is wholly incorrect. He has shown that
we are all ticking along at a level of function, often
far below what it should, and can, be and yet most of
the time, without identifiable symptoms. Symptoms 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”.
What needs to be corrected, no matter what else, is
the cranial (and therefore spinal) status of the patient
in order to restore maximum function to the system.
The Bio Cranial 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.
For simplicity sake, however, we recognize, that names
of symptoms mean something to most people and below
we list a number of these for which Bio Cranial has
been found to be helpful. The list is far from exhaustive:
We re-emphasize that the names of 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.
