Also known as Craniosacral Osteopathy, this technique is very gentle and is therefore, of particular benefit to babies, children and the elderly.
Cranial Osteopathy works on the same principle to that of standard Osteopathic treatment in that it's aim is to facilitate the body's own healing process and bring everything back to a balance. Gentle soft tissue massage, careful articulation and traction of joints are used.
Although the term Cranial is used, Cranial Osteopathy is in fact suitable for all parts of the body and involves gentle manipulation of a subtle cranial rhythm that moves throughout the body.
