Dural technique: Relaxation of the tentorium cerebelli
SBS Compression:
-The thumbs are lying on the greater wings, posterior to the lateral rim of the eye.
-The ring- and little fingers are touching the outer areas of the occipital bone.
-The thumbs give a posterior tensile force at the greater wings until a reduction of tension in the tentorium cerebelli is perceiveable.
SBS Decompression:
-The thumbs give an anterior tensile force at the greater wings.
-One continues as described in the frontal- lift technique.
Internal rotation of the temporal bone:
The thenars of the thumbs are lying on the mastoid portion bilaterally.
-the thumbs are lying bilaterally on the anterior tip of the temporal bones’ mastoid process.
-the thenars give a posterior and medial pressure from both sides at the mastoid portion.
This internally rotates the temporal bones and the tension of the tentorium is reduced.
