Demystifying the Cranial Bones

seemed to have on these symptoms. 
These inthefield unintentional experiments on horses were a part of what led me back to school for osteopathy the foundation of cranial work in a quest for further understanding. Osteopathy as defined by Osteopathy BC is a safe and effective approach to health care which works in combination with the individuals own homeostatic mechanisms to help restore homeostasis and optimal health. It understands the relationship between structure and function within the body and that all aspects of the body must work together to maintain health. It is also the foundation of cranial work as we know it today.
William Sutherland considered the father of cranial work was an osteopath a student of the father of osteopathy Andrew Taylor Still an innovative thinker and an adventurer into the cranial field. His discoveries about the movement of the cranial bones are still valid today. He referred to the tiny movement of these bones as motility which later in his research became further understood as primary respiration to attempt to explain a rhythm present that represents life itself and is separate from respiration and heart rate. When these bones move in this rhythm it is imperceptible measured in microns and unseen to the human eye. In fact the skills of palpation have to be wellhoned to even feel them move at all. It has taken me over a year of focused schooling to gain trust in my hands and what they feel on the cranium. In Sutherlands research he began to realize that these bones moved without an apparent mover and that this natural movement promoted a healthy life force and overall wellbeing. Conversely a restriction to this movement depending on the bones affected could produce a range of symptoms that extended far beyond the cranium itself. To this day osteopaths continue to argue about what creates this inherent movement which is more than likely another reason why much of the medical community is challenged by the concept of cranial motility.
For the purpose of this article lets imagine that in a healthy body the cranial bones move in minute amounts. Lets also imagine that this movement supports healthy circulation movement of the cerebrospinal fluid brain function and protection the wellbeing of the spinal cord and the surrounding dura and much more. What happens when there is an impact to the cranial bones or a change at the level
