Cranial Osteopathy chart

The Cranial Osteopathy chart covers the anatomy, technique and practice of cranial osteopathy. It is a fantastic visual aid for patient education and teaching, showing cranial bone motion, the sphenobasilar joint, cerebrospinal fluid flow and core techniques such as the CV4 and the Sutherland grip.

A unique chart that cover anatomy, technique and practice of cranial osteopathy.  A fantastic visual aide for patient education and teaching.

The chart highlights the following topics:

• Cranial Bone motion in Flexion
• Cranial Bone motion in Extension
• Bones of the Base of the Skull
• Directions of movement and (mis) positions of the occipital and sphenoid bone
• Sphenobasilar neutral
• Sphenobasilar in flexion
• Sphenobasilar in extension
• Cranial-sacral Rhythm
• Flow of Cerebrospinal fluid
• Compression / Separation
• Lateral strain Right / Left
• Side bending rotation
• Superior (Inferior) vertical strain

In addition the following techiniques are briefly illustrated and described:

• CV4 technique
• Decompression of the sagittal suture
• Disstressing the occipital bone
• Frontal bone techniques
• Sutherland-Grip
• Ear pull technique
• Frontal and Occipital bone technique
• Combinational technique

Measuring 50cm x 70cm | 20" x 27.5"  These charts come laminated with metal eyelets in the top corners for easy hanging.
