Learn facial effleurage, a gentle lymphatic drainage technique to relieve tension headaches and congestion, with strokes from below the ears toward the clavicles, while avoiding carotid pressure and contraindications.

Explore a gentle osteopathic venous sinus drainage technique that eases headaches and congestion by improving cranial venous drainage through stepwise contact at key skull landmarks.

The cv4 technique compresses the fourth ventricle to balance the cranial rhythm and reset the cranial rhythmic impulse, aiding headaches and upper respiratory congestion.

Discover the frontal lift to improve restricted frontal bone mobility in headaches, sinus issues, and pediatric development, using a slow, gentle anterior lift; avoid with intracranial bleed or craniofacial fractures.

Learn the parietal lift in cranial work to relieve headaches, sinus congestion, and developmental concerns by freeing the parietal bones to restore balance and mobility.

Identify and apply SBS compression decompression technique to restore cranial rhythmic impulse and balance motion of the sphenoid and occiput, addressing headaches, mood disorders, and cranial nerve dysfunction.

Learn trigeminal stimulation to relieve nasal congestion by applying brief pressure to the supraorbital notch (V1), infraorbital foramen (V2), and mental foramen (V3), enabling clients to self-stimulate at home.

Apply cephalad pressure over the greater palatine foramen to stimulate the sphenopalatine ganglion. Perform circular strokes for 30 seconds on both sides to promote sinus drainage and autonomic nervous system.

Perform TMJ compression and decompression to restore natural joint movement, reduce jaw pain and neck discomfort, assess safety, and teach at-home self-mobilization for ongoing relief.

Demonstrates the v-spread suture disengagement technique to relieve cranial suture tenderness, using gentle traction on one side and mild rhythmic impulses on the other, followed by retesting mobility.

Learn the arcus mandibular drainage technique (Galbraith) to aid drainage for otitis media and Eustachian tube dysfunction through a gentle, rhythmic mandible pull.

Balance membranous tension to address diminished cranial rhythmic impulse linked to headaches and cranial nerve entrapment. Use gentle palpation, indirect exaggerated strain, a still-point reset, and careful recheck.

Perform occipital decompression on infants with gentle stepwise hand placement to improve occipital mobility, addressing feeding difficulties, colic, or congenital muscular torticollis while observing contraindications.
