The term "cranial osteopath" has been adopted by the general public. "Cranial osteopathy" is merely a form of treatment and not strictly a practitioner title. Osteopaths are highly trained people and are taught a wide variety of treatment techniques (including "cranial") in both undergraduate (4-5 years degree course) and postgraduate courses. Each practitioner chooses the techniques they prefer; some use the more manipulative (clicking) techniques, some massage and articulation, some use the cranial techniques and many osteopaths use a combination of 'styles'. All osteopaths MUST be registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) which is renewed annually based on strict criteria and specified hours of CPD (Continued Professional Development)and valid Professional Indemnity Insurance. The GOsC was set up over 12 years ago to protect the public against malpractice etc. Osteopaths are primary care practitioners hence the statutory regulation and they follow a "Code of Conduct" which also ensures safe practice. If anything does go wrong YOU are protected.
