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 have been a cranial therapist for more than 25 years. Being introduced to Dr. Chikly's cranial work has opened my eyes to unexpected levels and dimensions I had not been aware of in this field. Integrating these in-depth techniques into my cranial practice is giving me an edge of excellence I never thought possible.Marybeth W., PT

Since 2006, Dr Chikly has made me a true body whisperer, imprinting my nervous system with his masterful subtlety such that clients and friends experience spontaneous unwinding of long held, hidden pain, and I myself overcame anaphylaxis several times.
Yolanda V., CMT
Thank you for an amazing NER-L class. The workbook has incredibly detailed pictures which is helpful in being specific with the anatomy. Bruno is an excellent and patient instructor. I am very excited to incorporate this in my work.
Ruth Berger LMT
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 :)
Peter B LMT
Just finished NER-L-O and the person who was my body was the same throughout the whole course. Now my client feels like her whole body is humming, where before things felt disconnected. Also, the ankle pain she's had for the past year is gone.
Claire MacPherson, RMT
I was in the class Dr Chikly just taught in Phoenix (BCRB: Brain, Cranial Rhythm & Bone Marrow) 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!
Kris K., P.T.
I have taken a few courses with you folks, all of which have been very helpful.
The last two that I took, both on Zoom, have been particularly helpful.
The bone marrow motility (BCRB class) has been the solution to many painful and, or itchy areas in the body. I have had areas of itch, like my ears, and doing the treatment on the head bones is very helpful. I was amazed. So good for hips also, and it can be done anywhere as the person doesn't have to disrobe.
Also the workshop on toxins (BMTA). It has occurred to me that these are the things that could be responsible for cancer or dementia. I believe I've found a number of people who contracted the toxin early in life, and as they age, the consequence of cancer or dementia shows up.
I just wanted to thank you for sharing some of your amazing knowledge with us and I believe I have thus been able to help many others.
With thanks and appreciation,
