what is cranial osteopathy?

Cranial osteopathy is a refined and subtle type of osteopathic treatment that encourages the release of stresses and tensions throughout the body, including the head.

It is a gentle yet extremely effective approach and may be used in a wide range of conditions for people of all ages, from birth to old age.
Osteopaths may have different specialities including sports injuries,
paediatrics, and visceral osteopathy (treating the internal organs of the body). Cranial osteopathy embraces all of these.

What can cranial osteopaths treat?
While it can be highly effective at relieving symptoms cranial osteopathy
aims to treat the whole person not just the condition, so a very wide range
of situations may benefit from treatment.

These may include

back and neck pain
