What happens during Cranial Osteopathy?
Treatment is exceptionally gentle. The practitioner simply places his or her hands very gently on the patient’s head (or other appropriate part of the body) and by application of the softest of pressures, balances the subtle twists, pulls, and asymmetries reflected through the system. The pressure is often so slight that the patient may not even be aware that anything is happening – at least until the beneficial effects are felt. Who is it for? Cranial osteopathy is extremely gentle and can therefore be used in acutely painful or delicate conditions also for babies, children and the elderly. It promotes healing at a very profound level, often resolving the cause(s) of conditions and diseases. It can treat many conditions which are cranio-sacral in origin which are therefore not dealt with by any other means e.g. compression of head during birth with its many after effects, learning difficulties, hyperactivity etc. facial restrictions and effects of head, spine and pelvic injuries.
