What is Cranial Osteopathy?
Cranial osteopathy is a gentle and non-invasive treatment focused on the subtle changes in our body's tissues. It examines the link between the cranial bones, central nervous system, and spinal fluid and their impact on our whole body systems.

This style of treatment is suitable for all bodies from babies and children to the elderly and everyone between. Often more direct manipulation is not recommended for children under twelve years of age, so this style of treatment can be very helpful for younger patients. It is also appropriate for adult patients, especially if they are in acute pain and cannot tolerate other, more vigorous techniques or have very chronic issues that have not resolved well. We also use cranial techniques where pre-existing medical conditions or personal preference rule out manipulative techniques such as having your back "cracked".
