Seminar Seven: From the Core to the Periphery

Central Nervous System and the Face and Hard Palate 1


~ The inherent treatment plan is further explored.
~ CNS motility. The dynamics and motility of the ventricles.
~ Dynamics of the face and hard palate.
~ The falx cerebri, the frontal bone and the ethmoid notch.
~ Dynamics of the ethmoid bone.
~ The spheno-maxillary complex.
~ Disengagement of spheno-vomer-maxilla compression and disengagement of spheno-palatine-maxilla compression.
~ TMJ issues in relationship to the hard palate.
~ Trauma and hard palate issues.


In this seminar, clinical awareness relating to the inherent treatment plan is further extended with an emphasis on the inhalation phase of primary respiration within the mid-tide. The shifting of potency within the fluids is emphasised. Students will also be introduced to the dynamics of the central nervous system. CNS motility will be explored from an embryological viewpoint and the palpation of its motility will be emphasised. The state of balanced tension and fluid skills will be explored in relationship to central nervous system motility. Students are also introduced to the dynamics of the face and hard palate. The relationships of the face and hard palate are presented as a unified whole. The totally integrated and unified dynamic of these relationships are stressed. The dynamics of the face and hard palate are presented starting with the falx and frontal bone. From here students explore the area from the top-down. Students gradually build up a complete picture of these dynamics as they explore the specific relationships of the frontal bone, ethmoid bone, sphenoid, vomer, palatines, maxillae and TMJ. These are seen to be a unit of function whose dynamics are totally inter-dependent. Clinical sills will focus on states of balance and disengagement.
