Although cranial osteopathy is sometimes thought of as ‘different’ to osteopathy, it is really just a part of the overall treatment approach used by osteopaths.
‘Cranial’ techniques can be used to treat any part of the body, not just the head, and are very gentle so suitable for the very youngest and oldest of our patients! All our osteopaths are trained in cranial osteopathic techniques and use them when appropriate for individual patients.
In adults, we find that cranial osteopathic treatment can be particularly useful in problems such as migraine or after complicated traumas (eg whiplash); for these sorts of complex issues our free 10-minute chat appointment is ideal to establish whether or not a particular problem is suitable for treatment.
