Enjoyed it, I think the pictures could probably be improved. Really would love, for all of them showing real people not drawings and such. Other than that the information was great.

There are always more techniques or variants of techniques previously learned to be added to ones tool box and cranial assessment work is a very useful tool to have and compliments other musculoskeletal therapies and approaches. It is also a reminder that sometimes less is more and encourages thinking and subtle awareness. Great for CPD too.
