Thoracic inlet is the ring at the top of the ribcage where the neck meets the chest, a common release site.
In 📝Craniosacral Therapy the hands rest there at about 📝five grams, listening, not stripping the front of the neck. "Release" means a yield as reported, not an adjustment. Dizziness, numbness, panic, or visual change is a stop. Unexplained neurological change is a referral.
Clients feel a light contact at the base of the neck. If they feel pressure on the throat, the hold is already too much.
