A NEW PARADIGM IN 

HEALTH AND HEALING

WITHIN OUR HANDS

“One of medicine’s best kept secrets.”

When diagnosis, surgery and pharmaceuticals

offer no solutions…

What to Do and Where to Go?

 

Investigate

The Cranial Connection Paradigm

Outside the Box

 

From the legacy and the hands of

WILLIAM GARNER SUTHERLAND

The Cranial Concept

Osteopathy in the Cranial Field (OCF)

Osteopathic Cranial Manipulative Medicine (OCMM)

OUR GOAL

 

The Cranial Connection Paradigm
reveals the value and serves to validate the
OSTEOPATHIC CRANIAL CONCEPT LEGACY
and the results of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field. 

The misinformation and misinterpretation
of this medical concept and specialty continues to remain
undervalued and discredited.

THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE

 

THE TIME IS NOW

– opportune and providential –

 

A time ripe for the recognition and the advancement 
in a field of medicine

that revitalizes not only the intrinsic
healing capacity of the body 

but also reveals the potentiality inherent
in palpatory training and awareness.

The promotion of vitality and health.

“Use no man’s opinions;
accept his works only.”

Andrew Taylor Still

The 1986 publication was originally a research paper for a graduate class.

I was studying to become  an Osteopath. 

 The paper evolved into an introductory text for medical students and was used at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine for over a decade. This ‘before internet’ booklet found world-wide circulation – more than 5,000 copies were distributed, some copies as far away as Australia, China, Austria, Germany and Brazil.

The 21st century bears witness to the worldwide dissemination of this 20th century Osteopathic legacy,  
The Cranial Concept.

The 2024 updated version contains current information and resources  
for patient awareness and education.

Read Medical Narratives that demonstrate, validate and exemplify the amazing vitality
and resilience that is within
 each of us under the care of those 
who have intelligent palpatory
training and understanding…
an ‘in-between’ connection
 of two people that elicits
 far-reaching results.

My personal memoir, literally and figuratively, is the embodiment
of what can happen when
The Cranial Concept is ignored. 
And what transpires once this understanding is recognized.
