Sacro Occipital Technique

Sacro Occipital Technique was formulated in the 1920s by a chriopractor/osteopath and is a chiropractic technique designed to correct the cranium, pelvis, extremities and organs.
The basis of the human structure is the pelvis. The pelvis supports the spine and skull, the shoulders and arms, and below the pelvis, the legs and feet. The internal organs are suspended by ligaments that attach to the spine and pelvis. The large upper thigh and important back muscles, including those responsible for neck and shoulder stability are attached to the pelvis. All these structures must be balanced, coordinated and maintained by a stable pelvis in order to produce normal nerve function.
The brain and the spinal cord form the central nervous system which is the master control system of the body, coordinating all tissues, organs and systems within the body. Proper control of every cell and tissue of your body is affected by bones of the skull and tension on your spinal cord.
The Sacro Occipital Technique is designed to improve the functioning of the body overall by targeting certain areas of the spine and surrounding tissues. The chiropractor will usually work by positioning the body in such a way that the weight of the body acts as resistance. The goal is to normalize cranial sacral respiratory action, which means restoring the nerve communications between the brain and the spine so that the body can heal itself as quickly as possible in a natural way. By keeping the pelvis and spine in proper balance and alignment the body has the best chance to heal and maintain health.
