Biodynamic Cranial Theory

The biodynamic theory of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field was an amalgamation of Drs. Blechschmidt and Gasser’s work on the Biokinetics of Human Differentiation with Dr. Sutherland’s cranial theory.  Biokinetics stresses not only that a genetic code was being followed but that the code was amenable to forces placed upon the developing structures.  It is the initiating embryological development that gives rise to the Primary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM) and thus Biodynamic cranial theory.
