CRANIAL OSTEOPATHY
Cranial osteopathy is an adjustment and corrrection technique which aims to optimise the cranio-sacral rhythm of the body. It is very effective in identifying and correcting limitations and mechanical disturbances in and around the joints of the skull and around the body. It encourages the body to heal itself by relieving stresses and tensions around the head area and throughout the whole body.
This practice is based on the maxim that every cell in a healthy body has its own pattern of movement and if this pattern is disturbed there will be pain or discomfort. In order to balance the brain in the spinal fluid the osteopath applies light touch and pressure to the head and various parts of the body, creating wave sensations through the body as tension is released.
