For the Parietal Lift, where are the practitioner's fingers positioned?

• A. Slightly superior of the squamous suture on the parietal bone
• B. On the occipital bone
• C. On the temporal bone near sagittal suture
• D. On the frontal bone

Answer: (A)

The Parietal Lift uses gentle fingertip contact on the parietal bone just above the squamous suture, where the parietal meets the temporal bone. This location provides a stable, light contact to sense and influence the bilateral movement of the parietal bones as part of the cranial rhythmic impulse, allowing a subtle upward lift without overloading sutures. The other options place contact on bones not involved in this specific maneuver: the occipital bone corresponds to a different lift, the temporal bone near the sagittal suture isn’t the targeted parietal contact, and the frontal bone isn’t involved in lifting the parietal bones.
