Product Description

Instructor: Lauren Christman, LMT, CCST; NCBTMB #450788-08

Take a tour of the cranial nerves, identifying their connections central brain structures, passages through the cranial base and their pathway around the cranium and torso. You learn gentle balancing techniques — both for neural motility as well as mobility of the cranial base and fascial movement along the length of the nerve. To gauge the need for this work, we’ll review simple strategies to reveal the functionality of each nerve. Where applicable, we’ll discuss common neural challenges such as Bell’s Palsy, vertigo, tinnitus, trigeminal neuralgia and various eye problems.

Olfactory Nerve: smell and its relation to sinusitis
The eye complex: vision, pressure, and movement
Trigeminal nerve: eyes, sinuses, muscles of mastication
Facial nerve: sense and motor to the face, as well as review of Bell’s Palsy care
Hearing & Vestibular function, including discussion of tinnitus and vertigo
Suck, swallow, breathe: coordination of the mouth, tongue and throat
Vagus nerve — structural approach as well as review of polyvagal theory
Accessory Nerve: movement and sensation from SCM and trapezius muscles
