The dural fasciae envelopes the spine and the brain, forming a unity from crane to sacrum. sensitive to stress originating in the psyche (preoccupations or fixed ideas and rigid thinking), its sleeve retracts which causes it to lose its function of rythmicity.
this can cause a variety of disorders on the level of the nervous and the vascular systems. the person suffering from this kind of condition can have the sensation of 'wearing a helmet', and may have concentration disturbances and feel exhausted.
when this fascia continues to retract it often creates pathologies on the level of the vertebrae causing back aches and headaches. negative thinking and loss of perspective may be among the consequences.
the equilibrium of the dural fascia and the cranio-sacral axis is an essential parameter for maintaining health. in addition this fascia plays an important part in the memory of the body and its role in maintaining a general balance of tonus is central. many symptoms find its root here and a manual investigation of this fascia often leads to relief from a variety of problems.
