Background and Objectives : The techniques directed to the cranial field in osteopathy are the most questioned due to the lack of scientific evidence. In osteopathic practice, manual palpation is essential and, therefore, measuring reliability is fundamental. The objective of this study is to assess the precision and objectification of an educational model in cranial osteopathy based on experience. Materials and Methods : A reliability study was conducted in a cadaver skull where a strain gauge was placed on the sphenobasilar synchondrosis (SBS) of the base of the skull. Three cranial osteopathic techniques (lateral compression, anteroposterior compression, and compression maneuver of the mastoids) were performed 25 times by osteopaths with different degrees of experience (5-10 years, 1-5 years, &lt;1 year). Measurements were computed for each of the three techniques of each group in comparison with the osteopath with &gt;15 years of experience. Data were analyzed to check for inter- and intra-observer reliability using intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC). Results : Reliability in osteopaths with 5-10 years' experience (observer 1 and observer 2) performing all three techniques was higher ( p &lt; 0.001) than the osteopath with &gt;15 years' experience. Little or no reliability were observed in osteopaths with less experience. Conclusions : The experience of the osteopaths determines the reliability and effectiveness of the cranial techniques, a fundamental part in objectifying these techniques. This model can help implement objective training in cranial osteopathy formation.
