Anterior dura girdle – Tentorium cerebelli

Anterior dura girdle – maxillary arch:

The therapist is at the side at the patient’s head. The therapist is usually standing, so that the fingers can relax as much as possible.

Thumbs and index fingers of the cranial hand take a hold of the coronal suture.

Middle finger and index finger of the caudal hand are on the palatine processes of the maxillae.

If the space at the gums is not large enough, the middle- and index finger can also be placed on the maxillae’s rows of teeth.

Anterior dura girdle – Tentorium cerebelli:

The therapist is in a slightly diagonal position at the head of the patient.

Thumbs and index finger of one hand take a hold of the coronal suture.

The other hand is on Inion and at the level of the transverse sinus, corresponding to the posterior area of attachment for the tentorium cerebelli.

The procedure corresponds to the one described above.

Note: No pressure should be put on the occipito-mastoid suture
