Wimborne Osteopathic Clinic: What is Cranial Osteopathy ?
Cranial osteopathy is a very gentle and subtle type of osteopathic treatment.
The osteopath uses refined touch and gentle pressure to encourage the release of tension and
the correction of mechanical disturbances throughout the body, including the head.
Cranial osteopathy is effective for a wide range of patients suffering from a variety of complaints.
It is perhaps most well known for the treatment of babies and children with conditions
such as feeding difficulties, disturbed sleep, colic and ‘glue ear’.
During treatment, some patients may experience sensations of warmth or fluid movement, whereas others may simply experience deep relaxation.
