Cranial osteopathy is a well-established type of osteopathic treatment that concentrates on the fine rhythmic movements in all the body tissues especially the cranial bones. It helps release stresses and tensions throughout the body, including the head.

Patients tell us cranial osteopathy helps in a wide range of conditions, such as migraine, back and neck ache and fibromyalgia affecting people of all ages, from the very young to the elderly. Cranial osteopaths use gentle techniques to deliver their treatment and restore harmony to the normal body tissue rhythms and states.

This approach lends itself particularly well to the treatment of infants but we treat patients of every age with cranial osteopathy.

Cranial osteopathy uses the intelligent application of a cultivated sense of touch (W.G. Sutherland). This form of technique is extremely gentle and safe. Side effects are very rare and on occasions the symptoms may worsen slightly before they improve.
