Cranial Work Summary:

Cranial work includes working with the tension within the bones of the head and face. It also includes working with the tissue inside the head, and with its connection down the spine to the sacrum which sits between the hip bones. Releasing tension on the brain is often especially impactful. It’s valuable for children to receive cranial work before and during orthodontic work to help the surrounding bones and tissues be in the best relationship possible.

Amy has done a significant amount of continuing education in the area of tongue and mouth function and sleep. She can help assess for an anterior and posterior tongue tie (frenulum restriction) and how to use the tongue to stabilize the jaw and neck and relax the body.

This may help with:

  • Assist in optimizing the relationship of the temporal bones and muscles of breathing so that the position of bones in the body and function of muscles is consistent with all phases of breathing.
  • Lessen tension on the brain.
  • Lessen the stress that is put on the jaw / TMJ joints to compensate for the rest of the head and face.
  • Normalize the situation of the monitoring receptors in the ligaments attaching the jaw bones to each other that can get heightened/stressed when they repetitively getting stressed from lengthening in a certain angle.
  • Lessen irritating sensations that linger from dental work.
  • Finding and treating drivers of a tight jaw.
  • Increasing the flexibility of the tongue muscle and the fascia that goes from the base of it down the throat.
