This is an exciting advanced class for trained cranial osteopaths and craniosacral therapists that will greatly enhance the techniques you are already applying.
It introduces a deep work that engages the cranial rhythm / Cranial Rhythmic Impulse (CRI), the bone marrow, and its profound relationship with the bones, joints, and the central nervous system.
In this class we will:
• Introduce bone marrow: motility, mobility.
• Treatment: Use bone marrow techniques to release inter-and intra-osseous lesions in the cranium and peripheral articulations.
We will also:
• Review and apply Swedenborg’s* concepts of the brain, spinal cord, membranes, and bone motility.
• Deepen understanding of the cranial rhythm / Cranial Rhythmic Impulse, in bone, fascia, viscera, and skin, and will introduce the reciprocal/counter motility of the fascia and the opening of the crown.
• Introduce how the cranial rhythm shifts and rearranges itself with diverse body positions, touch, and intention.
• Learn the rapid lemniscate rhythm and its correlation with the cranial rhythm.
• Learn a technique to allow a "still point" in 1-3 seconds; how to work under a "still point"; how to release a still point.
• Treat modulation and treatment of the craniosacral system via the bone marrow.
• Present the relationship between the cranium and the tarsal bones.

*Swedenborg's (1688-1772) described an inherent brain motility, a “primary respiration” as a spiral expansion and constriction. Swedenborg recognized the dura mater as moving reciprocally with the brain. He also mentioned dura motility as well as gave descriptions related to the movement of the cranial bones. He also mentioned for the first time that CSF is “secreted by the blood vessels in the brain” and made the first connection between CSF and the lymphatic system. He also discovered the perivascular spaces, the foramen of Magendie, the pituitary gland, the corpus callosum, etc.

"I was in the class Dr Chikly just taught in Phoenix (Brain, Cranial Rhythm & Bone Marrow - BCRB) and I just have to say he is a genius! I can't even believe what I am finding and changing in patients. I can't even put it into words. It's just crazy!! So, thank you!"

As a seasoned practitioner who is a course junkie, collecting techniques from wonderful mentors. My favorite techniques are from the Chikly's. I use them the most often and the people I treat think that I have great hands. The Chikly's cover both the academic problem solving and the heart. I couldn’t be happier taking all of their coursework. Thanks to both of them.
Luanne Olson, DPT
My friend had double carpal tunnel surgery. With acupuncture/massage therapy the end range was still compromised. in BCRB, with the CHIK application to muscle/scar tissue/ the new hand technique she has regained full range of motion.
L. C., RMT
During BCRB, the bone marrow technique for public bone, sacrum, ischium corrected my client's stance for martial arts kicks. The scapula technique improved the form for her punches. The muscle application for the CHIK corrected the torn hamstring. The bone motility & marrow techniques corrected the broken toe and sprained ankles.

I had such a blast in class (NER-L)! It is the perfect balance of hard work and fun! I am very much looking forward to taking more in the future :)
