Cranial and BLT

[Texas_Sam]

I need a little help with a small research project that I'm undertaking. Which schools spend time on Cranial Manip and BLT? Also, how many in class / in lab hours are spent on it per week / per year. I'm also curious what everyone thinks about these two areas of manip. So, let me know, please.

OCF/BLT is huge at UNECOM.

CCOM has some cool OCF researh in progress.

Didnt Thomas Crowe, the OMM chairman at PCOM recently published a new book based on BLT.

KCOM has some prominent OCF practioners in their department.

Doesn't COMP require all students to do Fryman's 40 hour course?

The physiology behind OCF is quite real. Recent animal studies have killed the Monroe-Kelley doctorine; cranial sutures move. But, looking at the available inter-rater reliablity research, it seems to takes along time to truly expert in OCF.

Stillfocused,

Could you send me info on the research that shows that the cranial sutures move? Am curious for some info I am trying to compile.

Thanks,

In terms of in vivo animal models cranial suture mobilty, this is the most important recent article.
