Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial Osteopathy is a very gentle form of treatment that provides balance for the whole body. By settling and integrating the body, health can return to an area of the body or the whole system.
Chronic Conditions
Cranial Osteopathy supports the health of the system rather than focusing solely on the illness and can be of great benefit for on-going health issues.
Working with children
Infants and children can be treated for a wide variety of conditions with Cranial Osteopathy. The treatment is safe and gentle for children and sets up their development to become healthy adults.
