axis. He also holds a Diploma of the Faculty of Medicine of Paris North, one of only four Osteopaths in the world to hold such a diploma.

Description
Classically, manipulations of the cranium address the sutures, the membranes and the circulation of cerebral spinal fluid. The proper
functioning of these elements requires not only the mechanical harmony of the craniosacral system, but relies also on the exchange of
information organized around proprioceptors, baroreceptors and chemoreceptors. These receptors are extremely sensitive. It is the nervous
system -cranial nerves and the autonomic nervous system - which transports this intelligence. Neural dysfunctions have, therefore the
ability to disturb the fundamental components of the primary respiratory mechanism. Entirely new, original and abundantly illustrated,
this book is an essential guide with which to visualize and become familiar with the cranial nerves. It will teach the practitioner manipulations
of this delicate neural system as well as new techniques which permit one to have an effect on the most precious part of the cranium:
the brain.
