Cranial base release is light holds at the base of the skull, where the neck meets the head.
In 📝Craniosacral Therapy the contact is about 📝five grams, listening at the occiput, not a suboccipital strip and not an adjustment. "Release" here means the tissue's yield as reported, not a bone moved. Dizziness, visual change, numbness, or panic is a stop. Head trauma or unexplained neurological change is a referral.
Clients feel a cradle. If the neck braces, the hold is already too much.
