Cranial Osteopathy works with the body’s spinal, lymphatic and fluid pathways, to aid your bodies self healing mechanisms and to help to remove blockages and help your energy to flow. Our bodies internal tissues move in a rhythmic and cyclical way, most of these processes are automatic or to put scientifically, your autonomic nervous system. This rhythem is subtle but can be palpated, perceived and felt, almost like the way a Dr can feel your  ‘pulse ‘ on your arm. Our Osteopaths are trained at the highest levels and over the years, they use their trained sense of palpation both diagnose and treat the more subtle aspects of our bodies functioning.

Cranial Osteopathy is particularly suitable for babies and small children. Cranial is wonderful for the treatment of children as well as adults of all ages. Patients are often impressed in the way  light touch has such a profound effect on our bodily systems and our aches and pains.

Cranial Osteopaths can be effective in the  treatment of chronic health conditions and problems that just don’t respond to typical medication or your Physiotherapist. Crainial is focused on improving your general circulation and reducing tissue tension. Health is really about  allowing the body to work at its optimum. Babies and young children often respond well to Cranial Osteopath. Cranial Treatment may help them resolve many discomforts and distortions from infancy or from their birth. Exectant Mothers (or post partum) will often find Cranial very effective during the difficult times where bodies are in a state of flux and under hormonal influences and fast moving physical re-adjustment (compensation).
