Cranial Osteopathy

What is Cranial Osteopathy?

Cranial osteopathy is a refined and subtle type of osteopathic treatment that encourages the release of stresses and tensions throughout the body including the head.  It is a gentle yet extremely effective approach and may be used in a wide range of conditions for people of all ages, from birth to old age. 

The technique uses very light pressure to evaluate ease of motion and rhythm, and through this mechanism can activate the body’s natural corrective healing mechanisms.

What can Cranial Osteopathy help?

While it can be highly effective at relieving symptoms cranial osteopathy aims to treat the whole person not just the condition, so a very wide range of situations may benefit from treatment.

These may include back and neck pain, joint pain and sports injuries, headaches, migraines and sinus problems, stress, recurrent infection, period pain, digestive difficulties, and treatment may also benefit general health and well-being.

It is particularly effective in treating infants and young children with problems such as sleeping & feeding difficulties, colic, crying and birth trauma.
