Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial Osteopathy is a subtle form of osteopathic treatment that uses very gentle pressure to encourage stress throughout the body. Treatment often involves the head, although other parts of the body, such as the spine and tailbone, can also be affected.
A cranial osteopath can feel the minimal fluctuations of movement within the body called involuntary motion. The automatic movement can be easily disturbed by any form of trauma, such as chronic stress, a car accident, knocks and falls, and general illness. Gradually the body may accumulate these strains to the point that symptoms start to show.
We incorporate cranial osteopathic treatment for various problems, including head and face pain, stressed shoulders, fatigue, and general ill-health. It is also effective for orofacial conditions such as muscular repatterning and disturbed sleep patterns.
