🚀 The New Pacemaker Theory of the CranioSacral System

Exciting new research is reshaping the way we understand the CranioSacral System. The traditional PressureStat Model has now been updated with the Pacemaker Theory, offering deeper insight into why CranioSacral Therapy so powerfully restores balance and promotes well-being.

Dr. Thomas Rosenkilde Rasmussen, Director of Research at the Upledger Institute International, has identified the Pacemaker Theory as the most probable biological explanation for how the CranioSacral Rhythm is produced and regulated.

This breakthrough shows that:

The central nervous system generates rhythmic activity through oscillating neurons acting as pacemakers.

A central pacemaker in the brainstem near the 4th ventricle produces a rhythm of ~6 cycles per minute.

The autonomic nervous system communicates this rhythm to the body through neurogenic vasomotion (5–7 cycles per minute).

This rhythm, known as the CranioSacral Rhythm, is carried throughout the body via the vascular system.

This exciting research integrates the latest understanding of human physiology and rhythms—highlighting how CranioSacral Therapy truly connects to the foundations of health.

An intense but rewarding few weeks in the USA

I was part of three Barral Institute courses — Visceral Manipulation 3 (Pelvis) in Milwaukee, Visceral Manipulation 1 (Abdomen) in Houston, and Listening Techniques in Washington, D.C.

Grateful for the chance to learn, share, and connect with inspiring colleagues. ✨

En route to the U.S. to participate in a series of inspiring Barral Institute trainings!

🔹 Listening Techniques in Washington, D.C.
🔹 Visceral Manipulation 3: The Pelvis in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
🔹 Visceral Manipulation 1 in Houston, Texas

This journey is not only about deepening my clinical practice but also reconnecting with lifelong colleagues from my time at Boston Children’s Hospital in the 1980s — a place that shaped so much of my foundation as a clinician.

Grateful for the opportunity to keep learning, sharing, and connecting across borders and years.

A wonderful Visceral Manipulation 3 (VM3) course on the Pelvis was taught this weekend by Joanne Enslin, Instructor for the Barral Institute USA.
The course explored the intricate relationship between the prostate ligaments and the hip and back—revealing how internal structures can profoundly influence posture and mobility.
One of the standout moments came from a participating CrossFit athlete who experienced a dramatic change. After receiving treatment, he shared that he was able to perform a deep squat—something he hadn’t been able to do for as long as he could remember. Notably, the pain in his left hip had significantly decreased.
The visible shift in posture and the functional changes observed in this case powerfully illustrate the impact of visceral manipulation.

Joanne Enslin Presents at ABC Africa Paediatric Chiropractic Symposium 🌟

It was a privilege to present Visceral ManipulatiPaediatricChiropracticPaediatricChiropractic Symposium, held at Fire & Ice, Melrose Arch.

We explored the vital role of the organ and fascial systems in paediatric musculoskeletal balance — and how these often-overlooked structures influence digestion, posture, and overall wellbeing.

Thank you to the organisers and attendees for an inspiring day of collaboration in advancing integrative care for children.
