Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial osteopathy is a very gentle, safe and effective form of osteopathy, which is suitable for all ages from adults, to babies and children. Although the name implies only the head is treated, any part of the body can be treated cranially.

It works on the principle that there is a very subtle movement between the cranial bones and circulation, and restriction in this movement may cause problems. Diagnosis is made by the osteopath gently holding the patient’s head, or other part of the body and using a highly developed sense of touch to feel movement. Treatment is also very gentle and relaxing, using specific adjustments to ease restrictions.
