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.

Cranial Osteopathy treats a wide variety of conditions. Its gentle techniques are particularly useful for treating infants and children.  Conditions frequently treated are:

● neck and back problems
● headache and migraine
● pregnancy related complaints
● jaw/facial and TMJ problems
● concussion

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.

Cranial Osteopathy can maximize our well-being by integrating and supporting the body’s healing systems. This allows space for the health of the body to manifest.

The approach encourages the body’s innate wisdom. The benefit of this is that the treatment is inherently safe and can be used in conjunction with most other medical treatments.

Working with Children

Infants and children can be treated for a wide variety of conditions with Cranial Osteopathy.

● birth trauma
● colic and feeding problems
● poor sleep
● developmental issues
● learning difficulties

The treatment is safe and gentle for children and sets up their development to become healthy adults.
