Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial Osteopathy is a refined and subtle type of Osteopathic treatment. It uses light manipulative pressure, particularly around the skull and other areas of mechanical stress, to encourage the release of stresses and strains throughout the body and provide better balance to the nervous system.
The whole body benefits from this rebalancing process, and as a result patients often report an improvement in many aspects of health. Its gentle approach is a popular choice for babies and children.
Common symptoms treated by cranial osteopathy are glue ear, behaviour and sleep problems, colic, birth trauma (ventouse or forceps delivery) or post-natal check up. It is also used on adults for a variety of symptoms and illnesses such as headache, digestive problems and insomnia.
