Cranial osteopathy is a specialized branch of osteopathy which focuses on the subtle movements of the cranial bones and the body's craniosacral system. The approach emphasizes relaxation and the body’s inherent ability to heal itself.
Treatment involves gentle, hands-on techniques to assess and manipulate the cranial bones and related structures, in order to activate the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Cranial osteopaths use a highly trained sense of touch to feel subtle changes of tension and tissue quality in the body, and to diagnose areas of strain or dysfunction. Then they offer gentle and specific support where it is needed to bring the tissues into a state of balance and release, in order to restore health.
It is commonly applied in pediatric care but due to its gentle approach it is beneficial to people of all ages.
