Cranial Osteopathy

Balance, relief, restoration.

What is Cranial Osteopathy?

Cranial Osteopathy is a gentle and subtle form of Osteopathy that is focused on relieving tension in your body. Although anyone can benefit from treatment, it is particularly suitable for babies, children, the elderly and individuals with sensitive conditions.

Despite its name, Cranial Osteopathy is not entirely focused on the head (the cranium). Instead, an Osteopath identifies your cranial rhythm, and how it is affecting your entire body. 

Cranial rhythm is defined as the ebb and flow movement of your cerebrospinal fluid as it exits the brain and bathes the spinal cord. An Osteopath looks for any restrictions or strain patterns in your cranial rhythm. We then use gentle, relaxing techniques to bring your body back into balance.

How Cranial Osteopathy can help you

Cranial Osteopathy is particularly beneficial for relieving stress and tension in your body.

Treatment is particularly beneficial if you suffer from: 

  • Headaches
  • Stress-related tension
  • Trauma, including birth trauma and emotional trauma
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Digestive problems
  • Panic disorders or anxiety

The treatment is calming, relaxing and effective. You may even be unable to detect any movement occurring.  

What happens during a Cranial Osteopathy appointment?

Cranial Osteopathy is a non-invasive treatment. Over a 30-45 minute session, we use a range of techniques to feel the minute and delicate rhythm of your body and identify where stress and strain is causing your tissues to tighten.

When you are stressed, the tissues in your body become tighter, which affects the natural movement of fluids around your body. We use a range of techniques to gently manipulate your cranial bones, spine, pelvis or other affected areas, to offer release and a return to “normal”.
