Cranial Osteopathy: Frequently Asked Questions

Why do some practitioners call themselves Cranial Osteopaths?
The reason for osteopaths calling themselves cranial osteopaths is generally just due to their willingness to specialise in this field of osteopathy. They should still be registered with the General Osteopathic Council, which regulates the profession.

Do Cranial Osteopaths only treat patients' heads?
Cranial osteopaths can apply their specialism to the whole body, and generally use other osteopathic techniques when required to deliver a holistic treatment. The involuntary motion system is found throughout the whole body and can normally be palpated universally in the body's tissues.
