Dural technique: Relaxation of the tentorium cerebelli

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.
