Cranial Osteopathy
What is Cranial osteopathy?
Cranial Osteopathy official definition is "a system of diagnosis and treatment by an osteopathic physician using the primary respiratory mechanism and balanced membranous tension." It is the process by which we manipulate the cranial sutures as well as the involuntary movement of the CNS, termed primary respiration.
This motion pattern is related to the beveling of the sutures and the attachments of the dura and requires intimate knowledge of cranial anatomy.

Laxity in Hypermobility Syndrome, Hypermobile Connective Tissue Disorders
What are Hypermobile disorders of connective tissue (HDCT) & EDS?
HDCT are a heterogenous collection of disorders of the connective tissue. Mutations affect collagen and the way it behaves resulting in tissue hyper-distensibility and joint laxity.
Specifically, mutations change the way collagen folds and organizes itself. Collagen has to form properly from DNA translation into RNA and transcription into protein structucture that must fold correctly to function properly. Mutations change the structure, folding, and function of collagen through changes in the collagen structures itself or the proteins that influence the cleavage, folding and, thus, behavior of collagen. The affected genes and the expression of these genes affect the degree of clinical signs and symptoms.
