Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial Osteopathy is an integral form of osteopathic treatment. It involves a more subtle, yet specific, form of diagnostic enquiry and treatment as an adjunct or alternative to more conventional structural work.

By utilising a variety of specific holds around the head, spine or peripheral joints the therapist is able to create a treatment response that affects not only the immediate area but the body more generally.

Cranial osteopathy is extremely effective when dealing with babies and children; however it has far wider applications, such as in the treatment of headaches or migraines, acute and chronic back pain, joint and muscle injury, diaphragm dysfunction, tinnitus as well as other more systemic complaints.
