Gentle, holistic care for stress, tension, and overall well-being.
What Is Cranial Osteopathy?
Cranial osteopathy is a subtle, hands-on approach focusing on the body's natural rhythms and movements, particularly in the skull, spine, and sacrum. Developed from osteopathic principles, it aims to release tension and improve the body's self-healing mechanisms. This technique is suitable for individuals of all ages, including infants and the elderly.
How Does It Work?
Practitioners use light touch to assess and enhance the body's cranial rhythm, facilitating the release of restrictions and promoting balance within the central nervous system. This gentle method supports the body's innate ability to heal and maintain health.
