Cranial osteopathy is a rapidly developing, specialised branch of osteopathy, sometimes also known as cranio-sacral osteopathy. Its emphasis is on treatment that releases stresses and tensions throughout the body, not only the head.
It is a gentle yet effective approach used for a variety of conditions from infancy through childhood and adulthood, to old age.
In infancy and childhood it is helpful in common conditions such as:
- Persistent crying and irritability
- Sleeping and feeding problems
- Sickness, colic and wind
- Learning difficulties
In adults it is ofent used to treat back and neck pain though it is effective in many other conditions...
