Cranial Osteopathy
What is Cranial Osteopathy?
Cranial osteopathy is a very gentle, yet powerful treatment, which focuses on the regular, rhythmic movements within the skull and spinal column. Imbalances in the pattern of this movement indicate the presence of an underlying problem, possibly of structural origin. A cranial osteopath will address these imbalances in order to restore normality and overcome the stresses and tensions which have resulted. Because it is so gentle, cranial osteopathy is often used in young (even new-born) children - find out more.
What we do
Cranial osteopathy is concerned with the structure and function of the body. Our cranial osteopath will therefore take a full medical history before embarking on any treatment. This is to ensure that it is safe to treat you and to determine whether cranial osteopathy is an appropriate therapy for your condition. Treatment itself consists of very light pressure, usually on the skull and the base of the spine. The movements are often imperceptible, but the effects can be dramatic.
