Cranial Osteopathy is
a gentle but powerful and effective form of
Osteopathy, developed more than 50 years ago.
The osteopath's highly trained sense of touch
is used to identify and correct disturbances
and limitations of tissue mobility, not only
in and around the joints of the skull, but throughout
the body. |
The technical approach
used, involves extremely gentle, but specifically
applied adjustments to the movement of body
tissues and is essentially a very safe method
of diagnosis and treatment. Osteopaths using
the cranial approach also use orthodox clinical
investigations in their diagnostic process.
Cranial Osteopathy is
particularly effective in the treatment of young
children, pregnant women, the elderly, and any
acute pain condition, but can help a wide range
of conditions including certain cases of glue
ear, migraine, dizziness, the effects of difficult
or prolonged deliveries in babies and children,
as well as orthopaedic and spinal conditions,
for which other osteopathic techniques would
be inappropriate.
Cranial osteopathy requires
advanced palpatory skills, which is why it is
taught at post-graduate level. All of our osteopaths
are cranially trained and have a great deal
of experience in using this form of treatment,
Suzanna has gained her MSc in Paediatric Osteopathy
and teaches the subject at degree level. |
